Sydney harbour bridge
There are a few things I really like about this picture. I like that it's black and white. I love the way the water is there, but the bridge and the railing are reflected in the rain on the pavement. There is a lot to look at, and you can make out luna park quite well which is good. The eye is drawn by the rail from the bottom right to the left, then drawn by the bridge from the top left to the right. I like the way the railing pulls you under the bridge, then stops, and leaves you to gaze across at the buildings from there. This picture is used in the Sydney Harbour Bridge article. --Silversmith 22:50, 24 May 2005 (UTC) *Neutral. Excellent job on fixing the slant Sango, and the photo is quite interesting, but due to its low res I couldn't support. --Fir0002 06:15, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Self nomination and support. --Silversmith 22:50, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't like the slanting, and I'm not sure if it could do with more contrast, but the content is good. At the moment oppose, but if the slant is corrected I'll probably change that.  Joe D (t) 23:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it as is, but here's a version (see right) without the slant. (Sorry, Silversmith; I had to crop away a bit of the bottom.) Sango  123  01:47, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing that, it does look better. If the only reason this is going to be opposed is for res, then I'll try to get the high res version off my friend who has the original.  He sent it to me via e-mail with lots of other pics, and so reduced it. I'll send him an e-mail now to ask. -- Silversmith  Hewwo 10:07, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, that would be a huge improvement --Fir0002 10:21, May 26, 2005 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Small and too compressed. Quality isn't good enough. ed g2s  &bull;  talk  10:08, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose Maybe you have to be a fan of bridges, but I find nothing to celebrate in this image. Denni &#9775; 01:09, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
 * Support only a higher res and slant-fixed version. -Lommer | talk 23:15, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Small size, and I don't like the foggy atmosphere. --Bernard Helmstetter 12:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- not the best framing. - Longhair | Talk 02:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - looks good to meInTheFullnessOfTime 10:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yay, finally I have the high res, straight off the camera version. If you zoom in the detail is great. I haven't played with it at all, so if Sango would like to fix the slant, and maybe boost the contrast or something, be my guest. -- Silversmith  Hewwo 23:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

+8 / -5 -- Solipsist 20:37, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) 
 * Support, should be fine at higher res. Kim Bruning 23:42, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, good resolution now. --Fir0002 06:18, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose, very moody picture, but not a good illustration for the bridge. Top half is missing -- Chris 73 Talk 07:48, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)]
 * Support. Nought wrong with moodiness. &mdash; Chameleon 22:10, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I've corrected the slant on the high resolution version. -- Silversmith Hewwo 18:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. I love it. Enochlau 03:56, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
