 * Support as nominator --Broccolo (talk) 20:02, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Info The image was nominated before, but now I added to the caption for a bigger EV.
 * Info This image File:San francisco in fog with rays.jpg has FP status, but it was taken against the rising sun, and shows no red color of the bridge.
 * The image has been nominated twice before: 1 and 2. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 20:36, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment If it's taken "against the rising sun", I don't get it, as the camera is looking to the east, but the light seems to be coming from the west. Also, I've always heard that the color of the bridge was the under paint, meant to be covered by a top coat, until people decided to like the color. I think any "facts" should have citations.

 * Info Both images the nominated one and the current FP were taken from about the same place, but the current FP was taken at sunrise against the rising sun, and therefore shows no red color of the bridge. The nominated image was taken at sunset, with the bridge lit by the setting sun. Here's one link, and another one that explain the selection of the color of the Bridge.

 * Support Nice composition and setting, in terms of the bridge and bay this is way better than the aforementioned existing FP. Brand meister talk   11:31, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Great picture. Has EV and is of good technical standards. Dusty777 (talk) 02:08, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak support seems less sharp than it could be. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:03, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose If you look at the photo on full, the lights and vertical wires on the bridge do not look as sharp as they should be. sorry -- Guerillero &#124;  My Talk  01:42, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Tomer T (talk) 09:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose as before. This is neither a good depiction of the bridge nor of the bay. A shot without fog has much more EV for both. Makeemlighter (talk) 10:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose as comments on the previous FPCs. This is not adding much to any of the articles. Let it go. J Milburn (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
