Reason: High resolution panorama complementing the existing FP with an alternative view of identical quality. Has been in the article for some time now.

Support as nominator. Second nomination. The first one was withdrawn. --Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I really like this shot. However, we already have a FP from the same angle here, albeit taken at dawn. The currently featured picture (the one at dawn) lacks in quality and the one presented here surely has more EV. Maybe the old one should be replaced with this one?

- Yes we have but the two pictures have different approaches: one artistic and the other illustrative. IMO, the illustrative approach (my picture) is more useful because of its encyclopaedic value. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I think your picture (the one nominated here) is way better than the one from the same angle currently featured. IMO the murky picture could easily be replaced with your picture. I'm just waiting for more input before I give my vote. Ottojula (talk) 16:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support There is enough detail to read the names of the scientists and mathematicians facing this way and all of the people make for an interesting scene. However there seems to be a bit of a bow as a result of the stitch, like the sides are leaning in, and I'd prefer to see that corrected. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose 2 FP's of this is already plenty, and this doesn't offer anything different that is special in my opinion so fails to add EV. JFitch (talk) 13:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'm going to oppose, because I think this nomination should take place at the delist and replace section. The nominated picture is far better and more encyclopaedic than the currently featured picture. It makes much more sense to replace this inferior picture than having three FPs of the same subject.

To me that would make little sense. as it is we have 2 very different FP's of this image. A stunning day FP and then also the beautiful night FP. A DL+R would only be appropriate for the most simalar images. So it would be the day image, and this is certainly worse than the day image we have featured. Also it makes more sense to keep a day and a night featured as oppose to 2 day pictures. JFitch (talk) 18:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
