Oppose I love Sydney, but cropped buildings let this down. --99of9 (talk) 08:28, 9 January 2010 (UTC)- Oppose Bad crop, we have better photos of Sydney. —kallerna™ 09:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Comment I'm prepared to accept that there are better pictures of Sydney, but this isn't a picture of Sydney. It's a picture of the harbour. Having more sky, and the tops of those not very interesting buildings would draw the eye away from the actual subject of the picture. IMHO of course. YMMV.

- Technically it's more a picture of the Opera House than the harbour. A good image of the harbour would show its expanse, not a tiny fraction of it in front of a notable building. And even if it were of the harbour, it's usually a compositional faux pas to crop the tops of buildings, trees etc when it's unnecessary to do so. Diliff (talk) 15:00, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- Getting the tops of the buildings would have meant framing closer to the tall ship. Ben Aveling 19:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- ...or a wider lens, perhaps necessary for this to be FP. Standards are tough around here. --99of9 (talk) 22:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
