Oppose I divine the image idea: the small barracks versus the high rises in background are a interessting contrast and the comparably monotonous and varied pattern of different windows and balconys give a chance to explore the image. But this idea doesn't work because of a few reasons: (1) The light impression is to dull and not very nice. (2) The transverse angle of the first few house in front give a bad distortion (look at the street on the right lower edge). (3) The trees on the left side are very predominant and deflect to much from the main aspects. Over all a good image but not a featured one. Maybe a zoom in from this viewpoint would give a better image. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)- Oppose Same as Wladyslaw.--Jebulon (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Like Wladyslaw, and as I often say in fewer words, I can see what the photographer is thinking. IMO it fails because of the light and background. With fewer clouds, and brilliant sunlight from a different angle at a different time of day raking across the buildings and creating high-contrast drama. But instead the mostly cloudy background leaves us with a detailed yet very flat, all too ordinary image. And there's blown highlights in the upper left as well.

Comment Not all photos should have sunny blue skies. I like the mood and feel of this one, and IMO trees on the left and foreground provide a good frame for the photo. ■ MMXX talk 17:26, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I wasn't complaining about the trees; take that up with Wladyslaw, not me. As for the sky I didn't say, nor meant to imply, that clear sunny skies are always preferred (inasmuch as I like them myself). But in this case they would have made the lighter buildings stand out better, and sun from the side, if possible, would have increased the contrast on the buildings.

- Comment Lighting and sky don’t distract me here but I agree with Wladyslaw that the trees are too dominant. For me the image is a b it off balace too, there’s too much weight on the right side. Crop suggestion added, I think it works better that way. --Kreuzschnabel 08:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
New version with a new crop, not that much as you suggested, but in that direction. I agree, it looks better. Poco2 10:00, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Support I like the 3D vista. Don't think the building on the right is distorted -- I suspect it does not have a rectangular plan. -- Colin (talk) 16:32, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Support I agree that it is not perfect, but I still think that it is a good cityscape and here the dull light does rather help than hurt imo. --DXR (talk) 10:34, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
