  • Support This is a great and beautiful picture showing in detail the Miami Skyline. Arigont 15:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Somehow, this nom never made it to the main FPC page. Listing it now, with alternatives. MER-C 06:07, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. No question the miamitom one is the highest quality. The alternatives with and without the foreground are hazy and indistinct and even unfocused at the edges, and one has a distracting island in the foreground, whereas the other seems to eliminate the coastal nature of Miami altogether. --Dhartung | Talk 11:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose all The original is blurred and indistinct and the other two are hazy as well. The original is slightly better, but still not close. Matt Deres 14:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose all - No doubt this a beautiful landscape but the technical quality is terrible, sorry. Alvesgaspar 20:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose alternatives They're way too small and washed-out. The original might work, but that horribly distorted crane kind of ruins it. Maybe if it was clearer in the original, and we could get a less downsampled version? Adam Cuerden talk 06:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
