  • Comment Good EV as it provides a very good overview of the bridge in its urban and infrastructure context, however its weakness is that the closest part of the bridge is completely covered by trees. It is also too tightly croped on the bottom so is unclear where it leads. Furthermore, given that it is taken from a building, it appears to be possible to re-take it in winter time, when somewhat less obstructed by foliage. --Elekhh (talk) 01:10, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Artistically, it might be less appealling to see a park defrocked of its foliage. The bridge might be more easily viewed, but the park might not look so great. Personally, I would like to see it with a white snow backtground (having grown up in Buffalo), but again most prefer green foliage and blue skies. I am not convinced that a barren view would be a preferable replacement.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      • I agree that the winter view would (a) still not provide full visibility from the same angle, (b) might be less appealing and (c) lose some EV in representing the characteristic land uses and landscape around the bridge. That's precisely the reason I am not opposing it, but neutral with a tendency to weak support. --Elekhh (talk) 01:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I like this better with the greenery- less dreary and the weather and traffic make this seem so in harmony and peaceful, and I love how the Sun shines on the bridge. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 04:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
