  • Oppose. You haven't really listed a reason why it should be a FP. The composition isn't particularly good, it is tilted, it doesn't really scream 'red light district'.. it looks like a fairly anonymous looking HK street. The control of exposure isn't too bad though. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose pretty good but you haven't listed a reason. Not exactly featured material anyway. Arjun 18:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak support - The "randomness" of the composition goes well with the subject. I don't like the cars in the foreground and think the tilt should be corrected. Technically this looks like an hard shot to make, with all those people walking around (no big exposure allowed) - Alvesgaspar 19:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Terrible composition. If the subject is the lights, the roofs of cars and the people on the side distract way too much. Looks like a cheap holiday picture not a professional quality shot which is what featured pictures are. --Midnight Rider 22:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose for the tilt and lack of anything particularly "special". Trebor 19:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Interesting subject, but not really FP material. At the bare minimum it needs to be rotated and cropped. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose Composition isn't good enough for FP. My edit doesn't help much. Fcb981 03:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
