Info After the criticism on my previous nomination I make a second attempt with this image. It is shot from the same position but the camera points more to the left. No West Pacific Bank anymore but therefore no tight crop and at the left are interesting lofts with lot of details :) IMHO this nomination manages noise better and there are no black blotches which disturbed myself most at the previous nom.

Oppose I feel weird being the only one oposing. I have been looking to this picture several times this week trying to figure out why it is supposed to be special. I cannot find anything really interesting in it other than it is technically perfectly sharp and well exposed.

- Oppose Good quality but average composition, no eyecatcher, nothing that really draws the attention Poco2 13:43, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose As Poco --Karelj (talk) 20:22, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose I feel the black point is too high. Detail on parts of several buildings is completely lost and indistinguishable from the night sky. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:05, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Comment At the moment I am a bit surprised about the number of negative votes/comments - for me the photo is not that bad. Let be briefly say a few words to the points mentioned:
No wow: That is very subjective - cannot change it. My benchmark is if I would like to put such a photo as large format print into my flat - it was the case with the nominee thus I've nominated it.
Composition: I've tried compose the image well - diagonals from the bottom left and top left falling in line with a point of third on the bright road, visually interesting elements at points of third and a thorough crop at both sides.
Black Point: There are some areas of black - surely it's a night shot :) If there is no lighting on some roofs any brightening would lead to massive noise and an unnatural look. Even exposure fusion which I've used for this photo cannot help if there are pure black areas.
As already mentioned (also by the negatively voting reviewers): The technical merit of this photo is high because night shots are seldom (even with FPs) that sharp and have so many details. BTW: With negative reviews it is imho much better as Barcex, Poco and King have done it to provide reasons for the oppose especially when there are no obvious technical issues. That is helpful for future shots and nominations. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)- Support Apart from the supporting arguments already brought forward - I really like the colors. They create a very vivid atmosphere. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:16, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
