Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Liverpool Waterfront By Night

Original

Reason: A stunning picture, high resolution, great detail, and covers the whole of the waterfront - certaintly the best example of a photo of the waterfront I've ever seen (be that night or day).
Proposed caption: Liverpool waterfront by night. A World Heritage site featuring the "Three Graces" which includes the Liver Building, the waterfront at Liverpool is one of the most famous and recognisable maritime landmarks in the world.

Weak oppose. Great image, but not as informative as a day shot would be. I'll refrain from joking about blown highlights, this time... ;-) --Janke | Talk 06:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This shot begs to be retaken in HDR. Tone mapping with +2EV shots would fix the noise in the sky, and a -2EV set could bring back the highlights. Noclip 22:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; it really is too dark for the image to be of much encyclopedic value. Some of the buildings, for instance, are near pitch-black darkness, and I have to spend...ten seconds...trying to figure out if it looks like a prism or a cuboid. Do a panorama in the day; it's less appealing, but makes up for that with more details. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 02:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Some parts look brilliant but overall there is too much dark --Childzy ¤ Talk 10:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Images like the London panorama that just got promoted are the way to go. This pales in comparison. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 12:05, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
