•  Oppose Good quality, but the composition here does not say much to me. Maybe it's because it does not show a unified ensemble or a part of such. All it shows is the back side (!) of Notre-Dame, plus an unrelated building. Also, the lighting of the bridge at the right with the shadow like an upside-down triangle is really distracting for me. --A.Savin 09:26, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Thanks Paris 16. I have fixed the noise and also some perspective issues. I can see that the bridge lighting might irritate, and I think that whoever commissioned that wasn't thinking very far... I do not know how showing the back side of Notre-Dame would be bad (I find it far more interesting than the front which is a bit straightforward). IMO, the image shows the eastern Île de la Cité as some sort of ensemble with references to both sides of the river, but each to their own.--DXR (talk) 09:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

•  Support The flashy light of the Pont Saint-Louis (right) is a bit deflective, but nevertheless a outstanding picture. --Wladyslaw (talk) 17:22, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I agree the bright bridge is a bit of a distraction. A 4:3 crop of the left hand side is good too, and avoids this. -- Colin (talk) 18:07, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Support It's true the bridge is a bit distracting, but I like this one -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:29, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not your fault, but the place does not work for a FP IMO. The embankment at left is busy by people an not really interesting. The right part with the triangle under the bridge is a no-go for me. What remains ? The cathedral, and a part of the Seine river. Maybe you could have another try with a tighter framing.--Jebulon (talk) 20:18, 18 May 2014 (UTC)--Jebulon (talk) 20:18, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose As Savin. Pleclown (talk) 11:32, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but that triangle is way too dominating imho. Since you seem to live in that area: Might worth a try to re-visit the location and try to make the triangle the main subject. That probably wouldn't be very useful for Commons, but could be interesting from a more "artistic" point of view … --El Grafo (talk) 19:29, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, since today, I am no longer in Paris, therefore I cannot take more images. If it gets declined, it does, no worries. However I wonder why so few people have commented on the alt that has no triangle... --DXR (talk) 20:10, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

You left Paris, and we did not met ? What a pity ! --Jebulon (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

You're right, Jebulon... Somehow time was just flying during the last weeks and before I knew, I was already in the train back! --DXR (talk) 12:10, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Alternative crop

•  Info Based on Colin's and also A.Savin's comment, I have uploaded a 5x7 version that focuses on the left arm of the Seine and Notre-Dame. (please feel free to correct me if I handled the alt wrong, I have no experience with that...) --DXR (talk) 18:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Support No ugly modern distraction here. -- Colin (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Also very nice. Yann (talk) 22:22, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose I support the not cropped version -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:28, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
