 * Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 10:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too dark for my liking - very difficult to see much detail due to lack of light. For example I can see there is a statue just in front of the building (r of centre) but no chance of seeing what it is... gaz hiley  08:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Conditional support: While Gazhiley has a point, not every image has to show every detail, and, for example, one can easily identify the statue from, say, File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-60015-0002,_Dresden,_Denkmal_Martin_Luther,_Frauenkirche,_Ruine.jpg, also in the article. However, the sky is rather noisy and blocky, which should be relatively easy to mitigate by selectively editing the sky alone, possibly with a slight gaussian blur.

 * Oppose strange semi-transparent people and people missing their heads near the bottom of the photo. These kinds of errors can be fixed. --Pine✉ 04:31, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose per gazhily: the darkness prevents the detail in the building from being easily visible.  Spencer T♦ C 02:29, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support The photograph is of the church, not the square and not the people in it. I have to admit that the bottom left corner with it's huge amount of lights is distracting when the rest of the image is so dark but the building is clear and even on the dark background I can make out detail on it so I think the incredibly high EV makes up for any composition issues.
