Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Sunrise over Central Park

A view of the sunrise at about 8 am. Taken on the west side of Central Park, looking east towards Fifth Avenue.

Reason: I think the 'x' created as the sun rises looks picturesque behind the row of skyscrapers.

oppose - Glare obscures too many buildings, blurry in shadows, no extended caption. Debivort 22:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Very weak oppose, this would probably be great on commons, but as an encyclopaedic image I'm just not seeing it here, sorry. :( --Golbez 23:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose A lens glare art does not make. Personally, I don't find beautiful things that make me flinch or wince (it looks so bright), and I don't see how it's particularly encyclopedic. Very few buildings can actually be made out, and it looks like there is dirt or smudge on the lens, making the shadowed buildings even harder to see. Enuja 07:35, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose An interesting pic but sadly not FP material. It's unpleasant looking at the glare and the focus is poor - Adrian Pingstone 08:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose per Adrian Pingstone. --Mad Max 04:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Try putting the sun *behind* you next time. That will avoid the unpleasant lens flare and overexposed centre part of the image. Stevage 05:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose -- The lens flare hurts my eyes, everything is out of focus, and it's just downright ugly. ~~Eugene 2x ^{Sign here} ☺ ~~ 01:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
