Twilight version.

Another Diliff spectacular. At full magnification is ever so slightly less sharp than it perhaps could be (cf. the similar Image:Sydney Harbour Bridge night.jpg), but this seems to me to be of such a minor degree it's hardly an issue. The figures might be a problem. I thought I'd put it up for you experts to decide. Appears in Yarra River, illustrates it very well.

  • Nominate and support. Both.—encephalon 02:06, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Interesting, like the composition. Phoenix2 03:08, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

NOTE. I've just discovered a second Diliff work on the Yarra, this one taken at twilight (looks like late twilight to me): Image:Melbourne yarra twilight.jpg. It looks as good IMHO, and I think both deserve FP noms. When voting, perhaps editors could state their preferences for "Night" and/or "Twilight"; is a separate nom necessary?—encephalon 07:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I've added the twilight image to this page as well. As they have almost identical subjects, I don't think creating a seperate nomination page should be necessary. Raven4x4x 08:47, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks, Raven. Nicely done.—encephalon 00:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Drool Support both - remarkable.--Deglr6328 03:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Support only the Twilight one. The light on it just is slightly better. --AllyUnion (talk) 21:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Support both images. They both deserve FP credit, despite their similarities. CapeCodEph 06:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Support the twilight image. I think it's lit better. DO'Иeil 06:42, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Both. Twilight version looks better but is at lower res, so I think they're equally worthy. --Fir0002 02:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Support wow Nixdorf 21:00, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
