- Reason
- This is a featured picture on commons and has been commons POTD. It appears to be technically meritorious. There are no distortions and the picture is framed so as to give it a finished look. I also like the unique colors in the sky from what is likely dusk in this westward picture.

- Support The sunset looks amazing! Wide shot with the skyscrapers and buildings in the middle ground is simply ideal for a FP. ///EuroCarGT 21:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose This is a handsome shot which clearly deserves its featured status at Commons, but the EV for the Petrillo Music Shell article (the only article in which it's used) seems weak given that the music shell doesn't stand out at all: this is really a photo of the skyline at sunset.

Comment: I have to agree with Nick. If I would have to provide the best article for this shot it would rather be Architecture of Chicago IMHO, the Music Shell is not really in focus here. Poco2 09:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I was rationalizing image use in Legacy Tower earlier today, and I think this would do a really good job in that article. The article really needs some expansion, mind you, but it's a decent start class, and, after the earlier rationalization, this is image 2 and shows a substantially different aspect than image 1 - and the sunset actually has an encyclopedic purpose, as the Legacy Tower is meant to reflect the sky. I think this adds enough EV to allow a Support. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:28, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that the EV is very strong in that article either given that the tower is at the extreme right of the photo and doesn't really stand out much. Nick-D (talk) 10:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- Personally, I'd consider that an advantage. We want to show it in context, this shows the part least covered in the other image, but in a way that makes it easy to quickly point it out in the caption. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:42, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
