Image:SF Bay Bridge USA.jpg, not featured

• Info: Bay Bridge and downtown San Francisco as seen from Yerba Buena Island. Created and uplaoded by Daniel Schwen, nominated by norro 16:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support I love the composition and love the colours. --norro 16:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Great colours and exposure. Freedom to share 17:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support, great colours and composition, so the fact that it's unsharp and has quite a bit of noise doesn't matter. --Aqwis 20:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support This is about 7 miles from my house. :) Calibas 00:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
•  SupportThis is about 5000 miles from mine :) I like it too ! -- Fabien1309 14:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very nice colors, great composition, but way too much color noise for FP in my opinion. --JDrewes 19:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Sorry Daniel, but the picture is too dark (yes, I know it is night), too noisy and I don't like the composition either - Alvesgaspar 20:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • You don't have to be sorry for an honest opinion. The pic was taken with my old camera under adverse conditions. I used a tripod and the image is actually an assembled mosaic. But the winds were very gusty that evening and it was hard/impossible to keep the camera from shaking. I did quite a fair amount of postprocessing (Greycstoration) which I usually don't bother doing, but I felt it was worth the effort as I also liked the composition and colors and it was an angle which was not available on commons then. Nonetheless I wouldn't have dared nominating it for FP myself. --Dschwen 03:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose not sharp, too noisy, but great cars on the bridge ;-). Lycaon 01:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice composition, but not too sharp, probably because of the windy conditions. --MichaelMaggs 09:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Nice --Karelj 22:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support - Husky ^{(talk to me)} 22:49, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too dark, and not a good angle for viewing the bridge WolfmanSF 10:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

  Question: C'mon! Too dark? It's a night shot. --norro 12:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

It would be better if there were more reflections in the water. As it is, the lower half of the photo (except the bridge) is basically dead. WolfmanSF 05:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

•  Support I would stay neutral, but there are many people opposing and I want the image to be FP, so... Poromiami 20:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Bay Bridge could at least be centred. Otherwise, a little noisy and possibly a little blurry. 哦， 是吗？(User:O) 04:07, 04 December 2007 (GMT)
  • Centered? Sigh. Then people would complain about boring composition. Centering is a no-no. Besides that would result in less interesting parts of the skyline to be shown. --Dschwen 17:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

•  Comment The yellow and green pixels are what has disqualified other better images here and is called noise.-- carol 11:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I'd have bet my internet connection that the yellow pixels were called numbers ;-) --Dschwen 17:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC).
•  Oppose  Neutral Too noisy. Without EXIF information, it's impossible to say if this was taken correctly or if the camera choice was a mitigating factor. If EXIF information was provided, I'd reevaluate my vote. The image also appears to be a tad too blurry, perhaps from the long exposure + wind. I expect closer to perfection for this type of shot. Composition is great. Update: Having read the above comments, I see this was taken with an older camera, thus the noise. I've changed to neutral as a result. Please take this again without the wind. -- Ram-Man 23:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • It's my favorite spot whenever I get to San Francisco. However, I live in Illinois now, so it might take some time until i get to reshoot. --Dschwen 23:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Merlijn 10:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lack of sharpness, and trees in bottom right are distracting. --Cpl Syx 22:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

result: 9 support, 7 oppose, 0 neutral => not featured. Simonizer 12:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
