  •  Oppose I don't think the purpose of a set nomination is to include two images, seven minutes apart, for which you can't decide which one to nominate so just nominate both. I don't think either are exceptional. We have lots of pictures of nice buildings. The sunset one has a better sky but you underexposed it (compared to the other, 0.5 sec vs 3 sec) thus ending up a bit noisy compared to the first. I'm not over bothered about the noise but here it was preventable. Also f/11 is too small an aperture for a DX Nikon, and suggest you don't go below f/8. The picture isn't very sharp as a result. It's a fine QI but I'm not going wow for either, and all sunsets are pretty. -- Colin (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I disagree with Colin here. The noise may have been preventable, but it does not ruin the image overall. The building and the sunset together to give a charming impression, hence the wow factor. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The image on the right has the most wow-factor for me. I agree with Colin though that an aperture of f/8 might have been better to create a sharper image (I'm not a Nikon shooter and don't know the specific lens you used, so please feel free to disagree if I'm wrong). I also don't really see why you nominated a set. Overall, the wow-factor is sufficient for me to support this nomination. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose No reason for this to be a set nomination, sorry. I would support the photo on the right if it was nominated by itself. BigDom (talk) 06:18, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not a set according to the rules; not even the identical PoV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Unsure about the set rules, but support for both photos. The detail level is decent, the atmosphere is great. (In general the tip to stop at ƒ/8 on DX = APS-C cameras is very good, just as ƒ/11 is in general the last sensible aperture on full-frame cameras. But as Frank has intimated this is also a question of the lens used: if the lens has a really strong field curvature, a smaller aperture can still yield better results.) --Aristeas (talk) 08:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Colin. -- Karelj (talk) 10:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support preferably for the second photo, but still the first one offers enough WOW factor to support the set, imo. The used lens 18.0-55.0 mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 is part of the 3X00 series kit. -- Radomianin (talk) 10:40, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose just too similar to be a set. No prejudice against individual nomination(s). — Rhododendrites talk |  20:25, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination, I will nominate just one photo. --Tournasol7 (talk) 04:19, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
