•  Support Brilliant lighting. Sharpness could be better but fine with me. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:18, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment Thanks. Regarding the sharpness, it was a trade-off between depth of field (f/7.1 or better is needed), sharpness (lens is best at f/11), motion blur of the funicular car (1/200 s or faster is needed to freeze it), and image noise (less than ISO 800 is needed). There has also been some loss of sharpness due to perspective correction and barrel distortion correction, but I am pleased with the quality in general, and I'm glad you agree. I had to catch the 5:30 am bus in the early morning to get this lighting... File:Downtown Pittsburgh from Duquesne Incline at dawn.jpg is a picture of the sunrise 23 minutes earlier. (the EXIF data is 1 hour behind the local time because I forgot to adjust it for daylight savings time). dllu (t,c) 03:39, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

•  Very regretful oppose I love the idea of shooting this oft-shot view in sometime other than broad daylight in the summertime (I have a refrigerator magnet of that view, as I have some relatives in Mt. Lebanon whom I occasionally visit there). And I appreciate what you've done to make this presentable here. But I agree with Livio that it may have suffered from that work in sharpness at some key points in the picture. Daniel Case (talk) 16:07, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Looks perfectly sharp to me at 6MP and even higher resolutions. — Julian H.^✈ 16:24, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Dllu, do yourself a favour and buy Lightroom instead of faffing around with free stuff that still leaves the picture with loads of colour noise. At ISO 400 I would not expect this much noise from a modern full frame camera. Also, if you significantly change the image after nominating (as you have) then you really should ping those who voted earlier to check they are ok with the new version. -- Colin (talk) 18:22, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

• Colin, it is incredibly rude of you to dismiss the hard work of others as "faffing around". On Wikimedia Commons, of all places, I would expect people to realize the superiority of free licenses --- not only for photographs, but for software as well. The reason for the noise is that the shadows were very underexposed. Take a look at the raw file and see for yourself. dllu (t,c) 01:40, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment Good, but IMO the image should be improved. At the bridge top right are CAs. --XRay ^talk 20:04, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support--Hubertl 22:53, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Too dark IMO. The other version is much better but with too much noise reduction applied unfortunately. --Code (talk) 06:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support nice and sharping is OK for me --Pudelek (talk) 16:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Unsharp --Σπάρτακος (talk) 21:30, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support It seems like you put a lot of thought into this shot, with pleasing results. Sharpness is fine, all things considered. -- Thennicke (talk) 13:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support -- Pofka (talk) 21:44, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Current (01:50, 26 November 2015) version is overprocessed IMO and which votes and comments are for which version? and who confirm this nomination?... I think you better close (withdraw) this nomination once and renominate it (but only one photo which you think the best) from the first. --Laitche (talk) 19:25, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very nice mood, but it's sadly overprocessed (with washed out details on trees). First version was better, only a bit overexposed. --Ivar (talk) 06:23, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, I cannot support current version, obviously overprocessed. --Laitche (talk) 06:57, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Info @ArionEstar, King of Hearts, Johann Jaritz, Martin Falbisoner, Laitche, Medium69, Yann, Tremonist, Christian Ferrer, Julian Herzog, Daniel Case, Colin, and XRay: , I've replaced the original file with the original white balance from the camera, and also uploaded a new version with a warmer white balance. Both versions have been corrected for chromatic aberrations and denoised. Can you vote for which version you prefer? Thanks! dllu (t,c) 01:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment Very nice view but too much noise reduction. The picture looks like a painting. --Code (talk) 06:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose overprocessed, sorry --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:11, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
