 * Support as nominator --AndrewrpTally-ho! 15:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Very nice image. --Carioca (talk) 17:05, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Issues with perspective and sharpness.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 18:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose edit 1, too. It's way too blue, and there are still sharpness issues.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 19:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose edit 2. The colors are better, but after a direct comparison with the original, the image quality is severely degraded.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 19:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - An excellent panoramic view angle of choice (for the photographer). - Damërung  ...ÏìíÏ..._ ΞΞΞ_         .   --  20:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose certainly issues with the perspective. —  Jake   Wartenberg  22:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose I wish the image had been taken from a centered spot, but it clearly wasn't. Otherwise, a touch-up to make the colors more vibrant would be helpful, IMO. -- mcshadypl T C  23:48, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support edit 2 Much better. Looks great. -- mcshadypl T C  21:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak support edit 1 A tad too blue, and a tad too saturated imho. Asphalt should be grayer, for instance. Suspect the real colors are somewhere in the middle. Large resolution makes up for a few shortcomings, though. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 13:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support whichever version is agreed to be most accurate. A great shot, slight off-center-ness notwithstanding.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 19:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Slightly off centre but otherwise great view. EV makes up for slight compositional faux pas. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:16, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The perspective issue seems minor in the thumbnail, but it's uncomfortable to view large; the softness is also a bit of an issue, although not major.  For what it's worth, I think a new edit with saturation midway between the original and the first edit would be better than either the original or the edit.--ragesoss (talk) 19:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit 2 has the best colors (although I still oppose).--ragesoss (talk) 22:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose per . — Aitias // discussion  22:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose sorry but feels too tightly framed at the bottom and the sides for the subject. Mfield 01:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
