Cartagena de Indias, Colombia

 * Reason:A very attractive composition, a great view, and well-executed processing. It's very saturated and a little on the oversharp side, but it is also an eye-grabbing image.  I noticed it on reddit, where one of the comments puts it well: "Ladies and gentlemen, I present HDR and tone curves done right."  We should be able to figure out the coordinates it was taken from, although they aren't on the image page yet.

 * Weak support Colors seem a bit dull though and I don't see why the cross should be there --Muhammad (talk) 07:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose The saturation is a bit too high for me and I don't like the oversharpening (causing a few JPEG artifacts). Also it's lower resolution than we've come to expect for FP panoramas (though I appreciate it's still twice the size limit and good enough to see most details), and the cross detracts slightly from EV in the article.  Just too many little things that wouldn't make an oppose on their own.  Time3000 (talk) 14:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose It looks very oversharpened to me. The oversharpening has caused a "gritty" look, particularly obvious on the largest version of this photo (and the colours are odd). "HDR and tone curves done right" it certainly is not - Adrian Pingstone (talk) 16:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose per Time3000 and Adrian Pingstone. HDR effect is over-cooked, prominent JPEG artifacting and oversharpening. Kaldari (talk) 17:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
