Comment – Looks somewhat blurry at full res. – Sca (talk) 13:46, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because of the perspective distortion caused by the use of a wide angle lens so close to subject. There's plenty of open space around the White Tower (compare, e.g., this photo, or the photo currently in the infobox for the article), so there's no need to get this close. The distortion is unnecessary and reduces the EV. I also find the ugly concrete platform and the figures in the foreground a little distracting. This is a perfectly fine holiday photo, but I don't think it rises to the level of FP. – Choliamb (talk) 15:12, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Weak EV, FP criterion #5, it can't "help readers understand an article" when in the article it is so small and indistinct in a gallery. It's hardly noticeable. Bammesk (talk) 15:18, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – I actually like this scene showing some context around the tower, including people, but the photo is not technically perfect. Sharpness could be better and there is some chromatic aberration (most noticeable on the top). The top crop is too tight to my taste. Also colour saturation seems a bit too much.
