- Support nice picture! I really like the composition with the traffic lights! The engine hood in the bottom left corner is a pity but it don't spoil the picture to much for me. --mathias K 10:49, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Oppose technically it is a good panorama but it is a dull image lacking any wow.--Avala (talk) 13:26, 7 May 2010 (UTC)- Support--Mbz1 (talk) 14:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support - Has enough "wow" for me. Tiptoety talk 06:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per Avala, plus I dislike it compositionwise. Cut off bit of a car on the bottom left, messy underexposed traffic lights on the right edge. Plus the subject of the image seems uninteresting and not very relevant. --Dschwen (talk) 17:19, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- The relevance and interest is that this is the typical architectural style and scenery in east Boca Raton, a city referenced in movies and TV shows, and one of the wealthiest areas in the south Florida metropolitan area. The traffic signals are typical of this area, built out of large steel poles rather than suspended by wires to withstand hurricanes. Time of day was chosen when the normally glaring Florida sun was not too bright, a compromise between having the main subject overexposed and the surrounding area a bit dark. Shooting at midday in cloudy conditions would have produced much more even light, but this would not give the 'feel' of the area IMO. --ianaré (talk) 16:17, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

- Support I said "wow" when I first saw this picture, so the "wow criterium" is met. :] -- Von.grzanka (talk) 21:22, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Messy edges left and right, per Dschwen, and not enough wow to compensate IMO. --Avenue (talk) 14:11, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose As Avala. --Karel (talk) 16:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Ditto to Avala. Nice pic, but not quite good enough to support - MPF (talk) 18:09, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per Avala and Dschwen, no wow in part as result of symetry of composition and abandoned streets. -Elekhh (talk) 21:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
