•  Info High dynamic range night shot of Benidorm, turistic capital of the Costa Blanca (literally White Coast) in Land of Valencia, Spain. The shot was taken from the Cross of Benidorm, located on the summit of the Sierra Helada. Benidorm, is a town with 73,000 inhabitants throughout the year but with a peak of over half a million in the summer season. It's the third town with the most concentration of tall buildings in Europe, after London and Milan, whereas in Spain, Benidorm is positioned third, behind Barcelona and Madrid in the total number of skyscrapers. Nevertheless, Benidorm has the most high-rise buildings per capita in the world. All by me, Poco² 20:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose too many parts of the image are absoutley dark (for me it's the wrong time to make such pictures, better is the blue hour), over all not so sharp and good like similar cityscape panoramas we already have as FP. it's good, but not a FP--Wladyslaw (talk) 07:19, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

  I don't believe that this kind of shots can only be taken in the blue hour (actually, I have some for this cityscape, but prefer this version). Poco² 08:20, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

  • depends on the scenery. A scenery with much water which becomes deeply dark and takes a dominant position in the composition is not beneficial IMO. --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Support -- Night is dark. The dark foliage on the lower left is balanced by the darker, shaper building on the lower right. This captures the ambience of the evening and makes me feel like I'm there. Kbh3rd (talk) 03:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
•  weak oppose Mmmh, I cannot really get enthusiastic about this photo. Level of details is quite good for a night shot. In direct comparison to the photo at blue hour one clearly gets the advantage of your careful HDR usages with this photo. From the technically side there are perspective issues at the very right (take a look in the verticals). But my main problem is the upper right part of the photo. There is a lot of fog and important details disappear in fog and darkness. The sharpening you've applied is also not beneficial there - sharpening areas with less details often result in sharpening artefacts. Probably an HDR at blue hour (a bit earlier as your nom beneath) with clearer air had been better. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:14, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Mountains are going to be dark at night. I believe we have an FP of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak with the same issue, but IMO it's not distracting. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Info This one during the blue hour Poco² 17:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
• for me better than the first nomination but nevertheless far away from FP. Compared to this cityscape-FP Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture/Cityscapes this one is technical not so sophisticated. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:00, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
•  Support fp worthy to me --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 14:21, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose as already argued --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment again, this is NOT an alternative, but another picture.--Jebulon (talk) 21:58, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- In this case there is too much dark foreground lacking interesting detail and distracting from the main thrust of image. Kbh3rd (talk) 03:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose The cropped one is much better. --Nobelpeopleuploader (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
