  • Sorry, Oppose per J Milburn. The alt is not nearly as nice compositionally as the first, and not much of the bridge is really in the frame. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:33, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- I'm afraid the silhouette-style detracts from the encyclopedic value of the image. The composition is quite pleasing, but makes it difficult to tell the two bridges apart. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 23:09, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. NotFromUtrecht is correct - there are two bridges in this image. The obvious one with the arches is not Havelock Bridge which is the flat bridge a few feet in front of the arched bridge (closer to the camera). This image is so poorly illustrative of the bridge I had to check the articles twice to see what was going on - I don't believe this picture should even be used in the Old Godavari Bridge article at all.
