• What is a HDR? Abisharan (talk) 23:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

• See simple here: HDR. We have Wikipedia :-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:59, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Not sure this is an HDR. I think Dschwen would have indicated it in the image description. NauticaShades 13:11, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

It is a HDR image. Please look: here. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

It is exposure blended with enfuse. It is neither HDR, nor tonemapped (what is probably what Alchemist-hp means when he says HDR ;-) ). --Dschwen 20:24, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :) NauticaShades 20:30, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

• Support Very captivating. Greg L (talk) 22:00, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support the natural lines of perspective make for a dramatic and enticing picture. Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support I'm sold on this nom. I doubt it is an HDR though. Cowtowner (talk) 01:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support; the photo draws the viewer into it, and curiosity begs that the viewer learn more. --Leahtwosaints --Leahtwosaints (talk) 16:38, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment I hope you guys all voted for this at the Commons PotY.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:54, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support And now my desktop wallpaper, unless User:Dschwen has any probs with that! :-) Gazhiley (talk) 00:33, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support Amazing, and I echo Gaz on this one, this one's going as my wallpaper as well. Cat-five - talk 02:54, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support Conveys the feeling of depth well. Nicely lit. --Avenue (talk) 11:15, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Spikebrennan (talk) 16:29, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
• Comment Certainly a pretty picture, but I don't really see the EV. Can someone explain? Makeemlighter (talk) 01:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  • That is how the Chicago elevated looks like in the "loop" in general, and at the Adams and Wabash station in particular. Also shows a typical Chicago street canyon. --Dschwen 01:11, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
    • Okay, thanks. I think that might be WR response time, btw. Makeemlighter (talk) 05:13, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support Fantastic -- mcshadypl ^TC 06:17, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support --George Chernilevsky ^talk 07:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support per nom. --Dschwen 14:20, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
• Support Great photo. Not sure it needs to be in so many articles though. EV is good enough for the loop. Fletcher (talk) 21:53, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Although it is very optional visual support in a few cases, I don't think there are any articles where it is an inappropriate inclusion, but am open to discourse on the matter.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
    • I apologize, I just added it to Urban canyon.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:23, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
• Pile on support. J Milburn (talk) 10:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
