Chicago River dyed green, focus on river

This is a photograph of the Chicago River dyed green for the St. Patrick's Day celebration. On the left is Wacker Drive, where it changes from three to two levels. Crossing the river is the Michigan Avenue Bridge.

Reason: It satisfies all the technical criteria in WP:FP?, and I think this is a great photo showing a very interesting tradition.

Oppose Grainy, tilted, focus isn't great. -Fcb981 05:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Doesn't appear tilted to me... The focus is alright, but there is a problem with the graininess. Is there a sharpened version? Anyways, it's a very shocking and unusual pic, as well as being encyclopedic. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 09:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose statisfies all technical criterias ? don't think so. it's grainy and blurry, vertical lines aren't so vertical and I don't like the composition - Blieusong 10:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - grainy, very out of focus in parts, bad lighting. Subject matter is amazing though. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 11:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The buildings are clearly tilted top left and top right (which, for me, is not aceptable for FPC) - Adrian Pingstone 15:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While the picture is eyecatching and illustrates the subject matter well, it is too grainy and out of focus in parts. The overall composition is also a bit weak. -- Balster neb 17:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like the actual subject of the photo but agree with other users it is slightly graint and out of focus. LostCity42 17:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- Very grainy and blurry. I don't think this will make a very good featured pic. ~~Eugene 2x ^{Sign here} ☺ ~~ 22:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and comment for all the reasons above. Someone, however, should get a shot of this some year, so that we can feature it as Picture of the Day on St. Patrick's Day. But I guess we missed it for this year. Great encyclopedic value here. Asiir 12:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
