 * Comment A crop which removes most of the water in the foreground might be much superior. Nick-D (talk) 08:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I tried it two different ways; crop 1 maintains the water at the halfway point of the image, and crop 2 maintains it at a third. Personally, I'm partial to the first, although the second looks more photographically proper. jp×g 09:07, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Crop 2 seems the better option to me, but I'm not sure if it's FP standard. It should meet the valued image criteria at Commons. Nick-D (talk) 10:13, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I've taken a far superior photo of the bridge in question. I've been advised that the proper thing to do is just withdraw this nomination and make a new nom for the new photo, so I'm doing that. jp×g 05:53, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
