Havelock bridge

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 2 Jun 2011 at 18:23:40 (UTC)

Original - Havelock bridge is one of the major tourist attractions of Rajahmundry. Built in 1897, the bridge until recently offered a mojor connectivity between East and West Godavari districts.

Reason: Aesthetically pleasing and an excellent silhouette

Oppose; a pretty postcard, but it would be a more encyclopedic shot in daytime, or at least with more light. J Milburn (talk) 22:26, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment How about this image? Hariya1234 (talk) 11:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Sun sets over the Godavari river in Rajahmundry, India

Sorry, Oppose per J Milburn. The alt is not nearly as nice compositionally as the first, and not much of the bridge is really in the frame. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:33, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- I'm afraid the silhouette-style detracts from the encyclopedic value of the image. The composition is quite pleasing, but makes it difficult to tell the two bridges apart. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 23:09, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. NotFromUtrecht is correct - there are two bridges in this image. The obvious one with the arches is not Havelock Bridge which is the flat bridge a few feet in front of the arched bridge (closer to the camera). This image is so poorly illustrative of the bridge I had to check the articles twice to see what was going on - I don't believe this picture should even be used in the Old Godavari Bridge article at all.

- Agreed. I added File:Godavari old and new bridges 2.jpg to the article, but really that image should be moved to the lead spot once this nomination is closed. Chick Bowen 22:16, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
