  •  Support Jaqeli 20:46, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info --I uploaded an edited version: cleaned, denoised and a bit more contrasted. Sting (talk) 22:43, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --I like very much the composition and the mood: natural and calm foreground opposed to the modern and high skyscrapers at the sides. But why the hell did he used ISO 800 at 1/420 for this landscape? The filename as well as the description are also minimalistic and made me almost vote against it. Someone knowing this place would be very welcome to add information. Sting (talk) 22:52, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak  Support. Good composition and colors, albeit a bit washed out (and lighting could be at a better angle). I think the use of line in this image is excellent, especially with the curves on the park benches. The ISO 800 actually caused less deterioration of image quality than I thought. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:33, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because I denoised it. ;-) Sting (talk) 00:59, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Average composition, upper half all too blue. --Tremonist (talk) 12:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Tigth crop, crane in the middle.--Mile (talk) 14:27, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think the composition could work in a non-backlit scenario, although it's very tight on both sides either way. As it is, the background seems too faint and the foreground too shadowed to really work for me. Several distracting objects don't help with the already complex composition. — Julian H.✈ 16:13, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The composition does not work for me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:19, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Apart from FOP concerns I'm not convinced either by the composition. The interesting elements are in the far left and right, the lighting is just okay but sharpness isn't, and especially the left side lacks contrast. The (drunk?) guy laying on the bench is not helping either IMHO Poco2 17:35, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Conflicted oppose I love photos like these in which 21st-century Earth actually does look like all those 1970s sci-fi paperback covers said it was going to (O Lujiazui! O Dubai!). I think the trees in the front, and the lighting and the clouds, work even better with that in mind. But ... all those technical flaws noted above, especially the tight crop at left, are valid criticisms. Daniel Case (talk) 04:05, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
