View of Times Square at Night

I think this picture is eyecatching and deserves to be a featured picture; the pages it is on are Times Square and Town square. Image created by Bartek Roszak.

  • Oppose. Too small, too dark. --Dschwen 21:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above. --WillMak050389 21:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose too small -- may well support if a larger version is supplied (maybe 1600xsomething). chowells 21:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Does not really convey the atmosphere at Times Square. Nothing special - rather a tourist snapshot. Insufficient size. Mikeo 21:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Too small. HighInBC 01:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Too dark and busy for its size. It looks like someone's vacation picture. --Midnight Rider 03:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I can appreciate the difficulty of a photo like this. Expose for the scene and the lights are overexposed. Expose for the lights and everything else is too dark. The ideal time to photograph Times Square is at twilight (as are most evening scenes) where the ambient light is approximately the same luminosity as the billboard lights. Either way, the image just isn't good enough to be FP. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Sadly it's too small. Would support a larger version. --Tewy 23:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. It's too small, to dark, to busy, and I just don't like the lampost in the center. Nauticashades 16:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Does not do the subject justice. A panorama is needed, and some expertise in dark-light, high contrast, and motion photography. --Bridgecross 00:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose but a promising start. I don't think we need a panorama but we do need someone with a camera that can get high quality low-light shots. Since it's such an accessible place a picture of Times Square has to be the best of the best unless recording a unique historic event. gren グレン 18:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
