•  Support I really like the parallel lines in this picture, which come increasingly closer in the distance due to perspectival foreshortening, and also the shapes of the stalls below. I suppose some of you might not like the light, but that's what it looked like, and I accept it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:55, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Splendid paradigm for the golden ratio. I am delighted by the outstanding composition. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:06, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Interesting view and very good quality. --Code (talk) 06:16, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Thank you Ikan! Poco² 08:09, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

• You're welcome. I'm happy to nominate pictures I really enjoy and find to be of high quality. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Following from our discussion on talk Poco a poco, I believe this crop has too much featureless sky and one is looking down on the scene. The diagonal lines don't quite meet the top-left corner vs the top-right so it looks like a slight error. The nearest left lamp is cut. We couldn't come to an agreement on the best crop, hence the alternative choice. Ping Poco a poco, Johann Jaritz, Code. -- Colin (talk) 08:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Support I think the proportions are better in this crop. Less sky. The lamps are at eye-line so you follow them to the distance. It feels you are more part of the scene. -- Colin (talk) 08:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
• Colin, thanks for proposing the alternate version. It's fine, and I can understand the appeal of the more intimate scene, but I  Oppose it in favor of the other version because I like the bigger panorama and viewing more of the wall on both sides, and I prefer for the wall not to be cut off vertically more than the tiny bit it already is in the original. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:44, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support This version works for me as well. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 08:49, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I should say that I consider both versions featurable, but after reviewing both side by side this is my preferred alternative. Daniel Case (talk) 17:42, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I'd prefer this version --Llez (talk) 22:01, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support An interesting sky would have topped this off, but you can't do anything about that unfortunately. -- Thennicke (talk) 19:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I prefer this one. — TintoMeches, 20:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
