Question Very pretty, but I have a few questions, though that maybe the original photographer can answer. Is the brick chimney supposed to be that red? It seems to make sense for the tiled roof or the top of the light, but the chimney must be painted or something to look that saturated. Also, the sharpening has left a thin halo around the objects. And otherwise, I kind of wish we could see more of the light itself. I suppose the only way to do that would be to stand on top of a bus or something. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 02:19, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose The photograph in itself is unable to depict the structure as a lighthouse. Sanyambahga (talk) 07:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As this is the only image in the article, and as it doesn't do as good of a job as other images would, for example, File:East_Brother_Island_Light_Station-3.jpg, which puts the light in context. If the article's rejiggered a bit so that this image stops being misleading, I'd support, but don't feel I can when this replaced an image that put the island and the light in context: [1]. Count this as a support if the problem is fixed. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 03:59, 19 March 2013 (UTC) Conditional support: I've edited the article, to add a context-giving image. I think this image can serve a useful purpose alongside it, so, as long as the change is stable, I'm fine with this as FP. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:28, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose My questions above weren't responded to, so I find the image flawed. Also, Adam makes a compelling case and that image linked to is superior. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 04:40, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support the composition is OK, but it seems to me that the reds are oversaturated and the image is quite noisy when zoomed in. Compare with this photo. However, otherwise, the image is a fine depiction of this interesting building. dllu (t,c) 23:35, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
