• Weak  Support. Very nice, only I'd prefer if the flag on Pacific Western Bank weren't as close to the top. Also, what are the black blotches on the street at the left? --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review and your precise observations. As you can see from the EXIF I was at the maximum possible angle of view. 10mm focal length standing with a tripod on a very small balcony. No further movement possible in any direction :) The "black blotches" (driving cars) are a result of long exposure combined with HDR fusion technique. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:03, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:59, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lots of disturbing elements (in the sky, on the ground) due to the making, maybe the long exposure only (without HDR) would have done a better image. --Selbymay (talk) 10:25, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Another user (probably here or somewhere else) brought it to the point: Photography is always about trade-offs: exposure time vs. ISO, exposure vs. aperture, HDR vs. burnt hightlights/black shadows, HDR vs. HDR shortcomings, stitching vs. resolution, stiching vs. stitching errors, sharpness vs. noise and so on. Without HDR remarkable parts of this image had been black. IMHO the level of detail and the large brightness differences make this photo special. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very nice and good but sorry, crop (or centring) too tight at top -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:52, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Christian. --Ivar (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination I take it back. IMHO the reviewers here are right. But I've another one :) --Tuxyso (talk) 21:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
