Comment. I assume the brighter area in the sky and the water towards the right is a reflection from a window? It does detract from the aesthetics a bit... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:45, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that spot could be edited out (the colors in that area are almost homogeneous). Brandmeister t 11:03, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Removing the spot is a huge step in the right direction, but I'm not crazy about the washed out colours and lack of sharpness. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 21:37, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The composition feels off and it feels as though the important thing is off in the distance. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The whole image looks fuzzy, i'm assuming this was a helicoper shot, and as JJ Harrison and Adam said the washed out and long range look doesn't do the subject area justice. Cat-five - talk 18:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
