Support --SHB2000 (talk) 05:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)- Support Interesting, well-working composition and nice lighting mood. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:03, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support Love the S-bend. The backlighting adds a warm atmosphere to the composition. --Aristeas (talk) 09:08, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Oppose I do not see here any reason for FP nomination. Image has relative low qualiy, some places are not sharp enough and there is also nothing special as thema. Some road with billboards... -- Karelj (talk) 11:48, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Well, you've obviously set the bar for your wow factor very high, so TBF, not surprised by your oppose vote. SHB2000 (talk) 12:28, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Comment The wow is always a very subjective factor, but IMHO this photo is very sharp – that’s obvious for the foreground, and for the background we must consider that backlighting strongly emphasizes any haze/dust in the atmosphere and reduces the contrast, hence makes the buildings in the background appear a bit soft just because of that haze/dust and loss of contrast. --Aristeas (talk) 18:50, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment On this particular image, Karelj's oppose vote is quite reasonable. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:14, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support per others. Special to me. I like the barriers with reflections on them, too. (As a tangent, there are signs on the road, but I don't see any billboards, which to me are large, rectangular advertisements.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:41, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- There are considerably fewer billboards in PT compared to car-centric hellholes, FWIW. SHB2000 (talk) 12:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The main subject is the road showing a little bit of Funchal around. To me the interesting parts of the scenery are plenty: especially infrastructure and town architecture achieved in difficult terrain, much different than what i'm used to. Pretty much everything to a nordic person like me is exotic which may be ordinary to others. And here also the interesting backlight reflecting from different materials which in photography may sometimes be a hit or miss if it looks good. I can't really tell if this is of FP interest or not, but I trust the other points of view on this... As far as I've researched, the settings should be at their optimum or very close to it, so it seems strange to me why is the quality concidered poor here. I do make mistakes, but I don't think I did one here. Thanks for nomination though! --Ximonic (talk) 18:01, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice mood and light, but the street is not really a wowing motif. --Milseburg (talk) 18:32, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support I'm partial to roadscapes, so I like this one. Daniel Case (talk) 20:12, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
