- Support Although the image size is low, I enjoy looking at it. It has a well-balanced composition (the trees may look burned, but they aren't by a bit), the skyline is positioned in one of the thirds of the shot, which increases its visual appeal. The degrading colour of the sky is shocking. The only fault I could find is the fact that the buildings behind the skyline are a bit shaded in grey; I would have preffered to see them with pure colours, but I guess this was not intentional. Another minor detail is the trees placed at each one of the low corners of the image. — ΛΧΣ21 03:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose. Nice photo, but well below current size size requirements, especially given its scenic scope. If you can replace it with a bigger version I'll reconsider. --jjron (talk) 11:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose Too small for my liking - it may be within criteria but I would want to be able to zoom in further for a shot of this style. But my main objection is the lighting. I don't know if any special effects have been used, but the needle looks fake and superimposed onto the picture. Just to clarify I know it isn't! Just saying it looks it from the weird looking lighting. gazhiley 11:54, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- You beat me to this jjron! If it is below size requirements then that validates my first concern. gazhiley 11:55, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose WAY to small. — raekyt 02:12, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
