Oppose This seems to be a good shot of the building as a main object but the technical quality of the rest of the image is poor, because: 1) there are large unsharp areas at the trees on the both sides, 2) there is a ghost effect of the waving white flag that is even visible without seeing the image at full size and 3) the overexposed areas on the both sides are just too distracting. The issues are too evident that they even make it difficult to focus on the building. I don't want to spoil the party but we have much better images depicting similar themes.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 20:07, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
- Wind is something that is just not really avoidable for the multi-second exposures required for blue hour shots. There are many FPs that have been featured despite unsharpness caused by the wind, like File:Monumento a la Libertad, Riga, Letonia, 2012-08-07, DD 13.JPG, File:Straßenbahnbrücke Weil am Rhein.jpg, and my own File:Long Island City New York May 2015 panorama 3.jpg. On this current image there is merely some movement, rather than a complete blur visible on parts of the three images I cited. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
- I understand that it's not possible to avoid the unsharpness caused by the wind and would tolerate it in limited amount (as in the images you're pointing out) but the trees cover more than a half of the total image (after making a vertical division). You may try to crop both sides but that will most likely move the building too close to the frame and the image will be left without sufficient detail (in fact, the problem is the lack of quality detail). I'd prefer it being shot in daylight.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Question Do you prefer File:General Grant National Memorial New York November 2016 001.jpg? That was shot during the day, and I'm by no means sure the trees are sharper, overall, in that photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- That one seems better and more vivid to me compared to the nominated one. Some tree branches are unsharp, especially at the top left, but one can better focus on the main object without being distracted by the other details.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:47, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
