- Info Created and nominated by Peulle. The Ypsilon pedestrian bridge in Drammen, Norway was opened in 2008 and has since won several awards for its innovative design. The 47 metres tall cable-stayed bridge is made of a steel construction with 16 cables holding the three spans (90m + 56m) in a "Y"-shape. In October 2017, the bridge was illuminated as part of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. (The purpleness is caused partly by the fact that the light shines in spots, only to disappear into shadows, gradually darkening the pink colour, and partly by somewhat poor light setup by the council).

- Oppose A better composition than Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Ypsilon bru rosa (1).jpg but agree the lighting isn't optimal with the bridge rather dark in places. Also the sky is very dark .. brown light pollution colour rather than e.g. blue hour which makes for more interesting/appealing night photos. Possibly an HDR technique would handle the light better. These purple LED lamps are a pain, as they easily blow the camera sensor and hard to render colour being so monochromatic. -- Colin (talk) 17:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Too dark. I would also try blue hour. (In case some don't know: The Photographer's Ephemeris is helpful for planification) - Benh (talk) 19:03, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The blue hour is generally going to be better than night for most things, but for large, well-lit buildings a nighttime picture is still perfectly featureable. But it is not the case here. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support - I really like this composition, and I think the picture is good enough to feature. It doesn't look like my view will carry the day, though, so try a similar composition somewhat earlier at night or in the twilight before dawn. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think there's a chance of that; the bridge probably won't be illuminated this way again - at least it was stated at the time to be a one-time event.--Peulle (talk) 03:23, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose – Image is too dark, with image composition bland and unbalanced. CookieMonster755 (talk) 07:53, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Better than the other one, but I still think this one is better. Daniel Case (talk) 03:37, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support for me the lighting and form are interesting as they are. I like Daniel Case's idea and would suggest nominating this one, perhaps after this nomination fails out. --Pine✉ 05:01, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support like the former one. --Milseburg (talk) 11:41, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
