•  Info created by Pierre Blaché - uploaded by Paris 16 - nominated by Paris 16 -- Paris 16 (talk) 05:44, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support -- Paris 16 (talk) 05:44, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Good idea but there is a little bit of each to see: Light trails and city, a lot of soundproof wall and trees and buildings that cover a lot. Also not very sharp for an Excellent. -- Je-str (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Neutral Like it very much, but the quality is not perfect. Not sharp enough, and the lights partly overblown. -- -donald- (talk) 06:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I really like it. Forgiving the slight quality shortcomings. Tomer T (talk) 08:18, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like it too, but not the obstracting and blurry tree/bushes right in the middle --Lupe (talk) 16:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support This sort of view would be unexceptional if it were of Los Angeles, but I've never seen Paris this way. Daniel Case (talk) 03:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Fischer.H (talk) 09:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support With the Eiffel Tower in the background, this is a yes for me. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Looking again and again at it, I think it deserves the star, especially thanks to Daniel’s point – the photo avoids the usual Paris clichés, but still shows some of the city’s charm. --Aristeas (talk) 09:29, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per Aristeas --El Grafo (talk) 13:58, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
• Quite a pretty sight, but  Oppose per Lupe. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:19, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose The Eiffel Tower is in fact a minus for me because for its significance it's kind of distracting from the main subject, the result is to me unbalanced, sorry. Poco a poco (talk) 17:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment That is a good point and I was also hesitant at first for this and similar reasons. In the meantime, however, I personally think that this photo shows precisely the tension that is Paris: a famous centre full of culture and lifestyle, but where housing and living are extremly expensive, and endless suburbs with ever-decreasing standards all the way out. From these suburbs (here, a still quite prosperous one can be seen in the foreground), the gaze then wistfully wanders to the glorified centre, whose lights shine in the distance and where many of the suburban residents work, but without ever being able to afford to live in the centre or enjoy its attractions to the full. (At least that’s what I’ve been told by friends who live in Paris themselves.) So I accept the divided theme of this photo and think it is indicative of this city. Just my 50 cent/centimes, --Aristeas (talk) 09:33, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support per Aristeas -- Karelj (talk) 18:32, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per Daniel Case, never seen this side of Paris; also disagree with Poco, the Eiffel Tower in the corner is what emphasised for me that this indeed is Paris. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:20, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
