Chicago River at night


I like the composition, but there seems to be too much glare in some places, or an overdone HDR. Should this be toned down, or would that hurt the rest of the image?

 * Comments:
 * I'd say EV concerns would probably hold this back at FPC. The image doesn't seem to illustrate Chicago River particularly well. Not only is it buried pretty far down within the article, but it focuses more on what's alongside the river than the river itself. That may be valuable to some, but I'd just say it lacks EV.

 * Seconder:
 * Any time my eyebrows arch at first sight, it’s a good sign someone did something right. Others may cite that it is too artsy, or lacks EV—and they have a point. Nevertheless, I encourage this to go to FPC because it is a stunningly beautiful photo. I have been on the Chicago River during the day and can say that I had no idea it would have nighttime beauty. I think it has *sufficient* EV to speak to the issue of “Chicago River.” Besides, I can say with great confidence that a higher-than-normal percentage of our I.P. readership stop scrolling on the Main Page and be sufficiently captivated by this image to click on it and read up on the Chicago River. That should be our litmus test; it normally gets 350 hits per day. I bet that this article will receive more than its fair share of ratiometric increase in readership because of the stunning beauty of this image. And that would be proof-positive we did the right thing. Well done. Greg L (talk) 15:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
