- Reason
- The original file, at 5,444,352 pixels, is very high resolution. There is no significant contrast in this photo, and no image noise that I can see. It shows its subject, the Queensboro Bridge, in nearly its entire length (it's impossible to show it fully from this angle, though, because the bridge extends inland on both sides and is sandwiched between skyscrapers). It's also a FP on two other wikis.

- Oppose - Highly compressed, looks like there's a bit of CA on the bridge. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:03, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- 3,264 × 2,448 px is the largest size of the original image. Epic Genius (talk) 01:28, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- Absolutely irrelevant. I didn't say it was downsampled, but it's been compressed. At that resolution, the file size should be northwards of 3 mb (at least). This was saved as JPG 6 or 7, probably, and it shows: there are numerous JPG artefacts in the image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:15, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- I apologize if I misunderstood you. However, I was not the creator of the original image. Epic Genius (talk) 12:28, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. Appears tilted. Composition is not great. 109.157.11.62 (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Support -- A significant NYC landmark that is difficult to photograph, even from a boat, and (if the image quality is fine) then go for it. Though I do see how the composition might be in question since the entire bridge cannot be photographed. HullIntegrity\ talk / 12:10, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with Crisco, the image must have been compressed to have that high resolution but such low file size, it's lacking in crispness in parts. Mattximus (talk) 02:43, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
