- Support The golden-hour light gives the skyline a bit of character. It is good to see that some of the buildings under construction during Wikimania 2017, in this image most notably the YUL Condos, have been finished. I also like that you can see Lyon Mountain just to the right of the CIBC Tower ... a good criterion for a clear day in Montreal. Daniel Case (talk) 21:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose I'm puzzled you nominated this and withdrew File:Montreal Skyline from Mont Royal.jpg. There's a bit of size difference but not much actual extra detail and since most of this image is in shade, the other one often shows more detail simply because the sun is shining in the windows and on the walls. I like the composition of the other one, which is similar to Poco's File:Vista de Montreal desde el Monte Royal, Canadá, 2017-08-12, DD 70-74 PAN.jpg. The composition is nicely framed with the trees and offers extra width with the water on both sides. While Poco's has an interesting sky, the city itself is entirely in shade, whereas your File:Montreal Skyline from Mont Royal.jpg has an ordinary blue sky but the city glows with daylight. This "golden hour" nominee only really has the golden light in a small area, which might have worked if that area was worth highlighting, but it isn't any more special than elsewhere. (Btw why do both your photos have the same date-time if they can't be taken at the same time). Both your images suffer from wonky verticals (draw a line up the side of the tall buildings and the deviation is obvious). I suggest adding vertical control points to the tall buildings right across the panorama to ensure they are straight and help keep the horizon level. I see in the previous nomination there was a discussion about resolution & lighting and Poco seemed to come away with the idea that resolution alone was sufficient to nominate new FPs. Resolution doesn't rescue a dull photo. But I disagree with Poco that the lighting in File:Montreal Skyline from Mont Royal.jpg is worse than his: only the sky rescues the earlier image, since the city is in shadow with dull light. I'd support File:Montreal Skyline from Mont Royal.jpg with fixed verticals. However, what I'd really like to see is not just another technical improvement over the existing daylight photos, but an image that makes me go wow without caring about resolution. Nobody has surpassed Diliff's File:Montreal Twilight Panorama 2006.jpg. Shot at just the right time, twilight, to provide a mix of daylight and artificial light, and with great weather. -- Colin (talk) 20:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

- I withdraw my nomination I think that Colin is right, this image does not have anything special and does not add anything, despite being of a huge size and better than the FP of Poco, according to Colin, I think that it should not be FP since it lacks the wow factor or the correct lighting. I am very grateful to those who supported the image, I will try to make a better photo next year. --Wilfredor (talk) 02:13, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
