Comment - When I saw this at QIC, I thought it was superb, but I'm now noticing horizontal and vertical lines that would seem to be visible stitching marks. In one case, the sky is clearly darker to the right of a line. Please fix the problems, and then I'll be happy to support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:39, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
Info This is a single shot without any stitching. In any case, I see the vertical line too and I've uploaded a new version that doesn't have it. As for the horizontal lines, they were in the original image and are probably caused by aircraft contrails. dllu (t,c) 18:59, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you.

Support Nice one. There's a lens flare in the lower left corner, you should remove that. --Code (talk) 04:07, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Done I cloned it out. It's a flower, not a lens flare. There were many purple flowers in front of the camera. And lots of poison oak. You can see some of the flowers in this picture, taken a few minutes earlier. I pushed most of them out of the way for the presently nominated shot. dllu (t,c) 08:01, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Oppose I don't like the composition. The bridge is caught just off of centre -- so neither symmetrical nor angled to get a better view. And the bottom half of the picture contains too much dark wood or water that isn't serving any useful purpose. The lighting of the buildings is a bit murky - again neither dark enough to be black nor light/crisp enough to be clear. -- Colin (talk) 11:57, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Comment I too would prefer a symmetrical composition but it isn't possible to move further to the left due to dense plants such as poison oak. dllu (t,c) 18:27, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Oppose per Colin. I can understand the desire to get both the bridge and the skyline in, but they are literally working at cross-purposes here. Daniel Case (talk) 14:23, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Support Great timing. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:05, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Oppose The quality is sufficient, but the composition is not appealing. We already have File:San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge- New and Old bridges.jpg as an FP of the same theme, which captures the bridge much better than this one. This might have worked had it closely depicted the architectural elements of the bridge such as in File:Brooklyn Bridge - 03.jpg.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:31, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Comment That is a different bridge. The eastern span is distinct from the western span. dllu (t,c) 07:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Oppose per Colin. ~ Moheen (keep talking) 18:18, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
