•  Support – A brilliant panorama, very evocative: the color and composition transcend any loss of detail. SteveStrummer (talk) 00:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
•  weak oppose I trully LOVE the picture, but I think is a copyvio. The lights of Eiffel Tower aren't free and I don't think they are "de minimus" here. If I'm mistaken, please let me know and I will change my vote.Béria Lima ^msg 20:07, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
•  Comment - It is beautiful, but I do share Beria's concerns. I have nominated it for deletion. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:33, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
•  Oppose The lights of the boats are ruining this very interesting picture (I don't like the fact they are cut at half of the picture). However regarding the Eiffel tower lightning, I believe the Eiffel tower would be de minimis if there was a copyright problem, but it's not even sure. For now most of the Eiffel tower picture by night have been restored on Commons. What do we know ?:

  1. SETE has registered industrial property of the eiffel tower (mark) and the lightning system, but the day we will want to reproduce such lightning system for an Wiki monument we will pay a licence for sure, but that's not the point here.
  2. The SETE won a court case on which they base their arugmentation. However this only court case was about a specific dynamic lightning show and not the regular lights of the tower.
  3. So either we invent a jurisprudence here and delete everything, either we wait a judge to create a case law for this.

  You can take a look at Category:France FOP cases/kept or this previous FPC Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Reflet-tour-Eifel-Paris-Luc-Viatour.jpg --PierreSelim (talk) 21:48, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

 Comment – The graceful arc of the unseen ships is a key element of this picture's rich impressionism, and I don't think it would be nearly as interesting without them. SteveStrummer (talk) 04:37, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

•  Oppose I dislike the "unseen ships", I see a lot of CA (pillars of the statues at right), and the gildened statues at right are completely unsharp, for instance. There is a slight perpsective distorsion of the left pillars of the Bridge, too.--Jebulon (talk) 17:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
