Comment Beautiful at full page on both my browsers, but at larger sizes (even 30% of full size), the amount of what appears to be noisy smog in the distance is disturbing and gives me pause in considering whether this is one of the greatest urban panoramas on Commons, not because this is not a very good photo - it is - but because of just how high the bar is, when I think about some other urban panoramas we've been featuring. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:10, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Weak oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 21:47, 23 April 2022 (UTC)- Support A less common, very interesting perspective on the magnificent city. The background becomes less detailed and less colourful due to smog; but in the end the smog is a genuine feature of modern metropoleis, so I cannot blame the photo for showing that. (And even before modern times painters have used the technique Verblauen – the colours fade and become the more bluish the farer away a feature is – to add depth to their landscape paintings ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 19:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment The record of smog is valuable, as hopefully a period of past history in a future of renewable energy, but is it beautiful or great? That's my dilemma, whether to vote for the rest of the photo, oppose because of the smog or just not vote. So far, not voting has won out for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I understand, Ikan, and in no way did I mean to criticize you. I just saw the danger that readers may only see the negative side of your well-balanced statement about the smog. Several times I have observed that as soon as someone has raised a convincing objection against a picture, others only join in with a “per”. There is nothing to be said against the “per” (I also often vote with “per”), but it is a pity when the discussion becomes one-sided too quickly – in my opinion, every good picture deserves a broader discussion that points out its pros and cons. So I try to emphasize the strengths of an image – to stimulate discussion and to contribute hereby to a fair overall outcome; especially when I find that an argument (like the smog here) can also be interpreted the other way around. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 08:05, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- It's alright; I didn't feel attacked, I just had an additional thought. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:23, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
