Brooklyn Bridge

Original - This is a view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the 21st floor of 140 Cadmen Plaza West.
Or, more concisely:
Brooklyn Bridge, spanning the East River, in 2007.

Reason: Depicts the Brooklyn Bridge, an important New York City landmark, and surrounding area very well, therefore has high encyclopedic value; high-resolution and also quite striking visually

Weak oppose Excellent subject, good resolution, but flat lighting. Reviewed our FPs when this nom came up because I thought we already had a shot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Apparently not. Thank you very much for nominating; I think we can do better. Durova^Charge! 16:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not sure what could be done about the lighting when it's a clear blus sky already (not that I think it's an issue anyway), so as a good quality picture of the subject I think it qualifies.Terri G (talk) 19:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, just not nearly crisp enough for an FP. Look at Diliff's shot of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. That's approaching the crispness we'd need but since this is a day show we should be able to do even better. gren グレン 22:19, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose unflattering composition. It's a good photo, and very useful for Wikipedia. But no wow. Stevage 00:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose ditto on the crispness and composition noted above. And more importantly, where's Spiderman? Sasata (talk) 08:29, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Composition; bridge towers lay on top of cluttered buildings, no contrast between subject and background. --Bridgecross (talk) 14:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I actually like the composition, but the quality is lacking. It looks as if it was taken with a low-quality camera. It is a great shot, and would get my complete support if it was more 'crisp', as discussed. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 18:52, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately the angle obscures one of the most distinctive architectural features of the bridge: the Gothic arches on the masonry towers. Durova^Charge! 17:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
