•  Oppose 4 megapixel pano, no wow.--Claus (talk) 03:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
• Weak  Support. I understand Claus's concerns, but apparently we don't have a similar picture of better resolution. (I'm actually quite surprised given how popular it is as a tourist destination.) We have File:NYC Top of the Rock Pano.jpg but it's a different location and time of day. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:03, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

•  Support 4 megapixels is more than enough for my screen. --Uberprutser (talk) 16:44, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose I'm afraid I don't like Mfield's alteration of File:New York Midtown Skyline at night - Jan 2006.jpg, which seems fairly crude. The 4MP image wasn't considered large enough by some in 2008 at en:fp never mind 2014 (It was downsampled for technical reasons rather than in order to make a miserly donation). While I'd have no problem retaining this as an FP today (esp if no better has been taken) I don't think this represents the state of the art today. -- Colin (talk) 18:37, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
• Just to comment on the technicals of the image, it's not easy to shoot this scene hand-held (tripods are not allowed to be used), perhaps that's why we don't have a better image. A 1/40th second exposure at f/1/8 and ISO 800 is actually significantly darker than this image. It was brightened in post and downsampled as the noise was objectionable (as Colin mentioned, for technical reasons). Diliff (talk) 21:03, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
