Oppose There are severely blown highlights on the top half of the towers. I wouldn't normally oppose just for that, but in this case the affected area is a substantial portion of the image. Also there's something strange going on with the colour spaces: firefox shows the sky as a strange shade of purple, which ought to be fixed. Time3000 (talk) 09:13, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also the image seems to have undergone aggressive NR IMO --Muhammad(talk) 09:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per Time3000... Shame though as lovely colours on most of it... Gazhiley (talk) 09:34, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do see the "whiting out" of some of the lines at the top portion of the structure. Was hoping that the overall coloring effect would compensate for it. Shame indeed Calmer Waters 10:03, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Beautiful sky. I used to live in Malaysia, so I have witnessed Petronas Tower countless times. However the top part of the left tower is somewhat out of shape. In addition the foreground (Entrance to the philharmonic hall) was too dark. Too bad, the background was wonderful. Kangxi Emperor 康熙帝 (talk) 13:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per above plus the perspective problems. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Striking, but just not "real" enough. Specific problems listed above. J Milburn (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Hi, thanks for nominating my image, but as the creator, clearly I do not like it either. To my personal view, it's just horribly photographed and too much overprocessing. That's why I wrote under the Image Creation/Manipulation headline as quoted "To be honest this isn't a very good image produced by me; I don't consider this my personal favourite". Therefore, I strongly oppose my own work. Still, many thanks and much appreciated. Someformofhuman (talk) 03:29, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
