 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.png|15px]]Support - Lovely. Hope you don't mind, but I've centred the panorama on the voting page - it's tradition to have panoramas centred, as they break up the layout otherwise. &mdash;Vanderdecken&there4; &int;  &xi;  &phi;   17:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't mind at all, as long as it benefits the picture. Political Mind 19:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Support Wonderful! --Nebular110 20:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support, the effect of the light on the water is great. The only problem I see is that image might be slightly tilted.  The slanted docks don't give a good horizontal reference to check, and it could just be the curvature playing tricks on me. Night Gyr 20:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Support. I was actually going to nominate this pic. There has never been a better picture of Melbourne, anywhere. Beautiful framing, lights, and clarity. Kudos to the photographer in charge. -- GarrettRock 22:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment IMHO (as a Melburnian) this isn't a great photo of Melbourne. It's a good photo of the Melbourne Docklands, but it's essentially a fairly odd mirror-image of the city's panorama from the typical view, since it's taken from "behind the back". It's a good photo, but subjectively I can't help but think, "what an awful part of Melbourne" :/ How bizarre also that there is scarcely a single boat moored at the jetty...

 * Actually, as the photographer, I have to admit that I agree with you about the fact that it isn't a great photo of Melbourne. The image was originally intended only for the Docklands article, but someone else has added it to the Melbourne article. As for the lack of boats, thats because it was freshly built. In fact, it wasn't even complete at the time and was partially under construction. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 23:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, quite a stunning picture! Political Mind 23:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Support, Shocklingly good, but unhappy that the buildings on the right are cut off. --Golbez 04:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Support - amazing picture. Masterpjz9 01:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - it's a great skyline.  Big  top (customer service -  thank you for your cooperation. ) 20:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Good view, very encyclopedic, but I think that Diliff's comments should be noted in the write-up, however, just because it isn't extremely pretty doesn't make it any less of a good picture. Besides, despite the fact it  might not show the best part of Melbourne, I like it. --OldMajor 02:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Stunning. It grabs my attention, has vivid color, and is of excellent quality. Why do all these wonderful pictures seem to come from Canon? Wow. Tewy 01:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
