  • Comment The composition actually seems a little cluttered to me, but then, reality is cluttered. I like it, on the whole, but am not sure if it counts as "best of the best" as FP tries to be. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I don't find it cluttered and I like the composition, there is a clear theme with the waterfront and the span of the bridge stretching across the whole frame. But it is leaning! And I'm not too terribly excited about the amount of detail/resolution, as the bar has been set pretty high by previous FPs. --Dschwen 21:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose - too blurry. microchip08 Find my secret page! Talk to me! I feel lonely! 21:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Poor composition, bad time of day for lighting, non straight verticals. Mfield (talk) 21:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above. And it's got a few "jpeg symptoms", mostly with the bridge in the distance. crassic![talk] 07:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Looks like something was edited out above the leftmost suspension bridge pier. The slanted minaret is distracting. -- atropos235 ✄ (blah blah, my past) 03:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
