Info The first in the series presents an expository view of the scene under natural blue hour light. The second, taken less than 30 minutes after the first, showcases Shanghai's unique nightly display of lights.

Support Good details, the day version with a sky a bit noise in 100 %, and the night version a irregular soft focus on the right border, however, photopollution is common on Shanghai. Also, the day version has a blurred ships on the left and right bottom that are distracting and the header of the Oriental Pearl Tower lost details. --Photographer 23:56, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the support. I added a bit of NR on the first image. When correcting perspective for tall buildings, you inevitably end up stretching the top and shrinking the bottom, so unless you downsample the entire image the top sections will always be slightly less sharp at full resolution. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:13, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- I underestand the point when you are corecting perspective (BTW, please add the panorama template to the images if its the case) and be careful when you are applying NR, its better apply a selective NR and not a general NR resulting on lost details. I find your pictures a well done work and my only critic is the ships with motion blur that could be solved taking a fast shoot combining this with a long exposure to later make the boat appear clear with another layer in photoshop --Photographer 00:24, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Support - Not everything is tack sharp, but I like both photos enough to support them individually and as a set. These also merit VIC nomination, as the skyline will doubtless be different in x-number of years. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:54, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Support the day version, neutral for the one at night. Impressive architecture, high resolution and nice composition on the left, but in the version at night I regret the colorful light reflection in the water was cut. Probably this choice was made to harmonize both with exactly the same framing, unfortunately the cut seems abrupt here, and visually it would certainly have been much more aesthetic with this special feature, missing -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:05, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Support Given all the images we have of the Lujiazui skyline (mine included), it is mildly surprising to me that the first ones to be nominated here and be feature quality are a night-and-day pair that do not go for lurid color and are not taken from the central Bund (Where were you? Looks like you were up near the Waibaidu Bridge; I can't tell from the geotagging since as usual with anything in the PRC it is deliberately off ... it seems to have you in the Huangpu, just off the Lujiazui side, which can't be right).

- The coordinates are accurate with respect to map view in Google Maps (as opposed to satellite view). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:25, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Alright, so you actually were on the Bund. Will so subcategorize. Daniel Case (talk) 02:36, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Support -- Neat how the night shot wasn't ruined by a bunch of brightly lit boats steaming down the river. Now, if only the picture was 195 gigapixels rather than a measly 50 megapixels... dllu (t,c) 05:07, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
