Oppose No...not the power lines. :( --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 15:53, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is air communication cabling (TV, internet, telephony). Сables are everywhere, and we have no chance to take picture in the old city without wires in a frame. In fact, these cables above the streets became a part of our urban atmosphere. Alas... --Alex Florstein (talk) 19:27, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support Very pretty, despite the power lines. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:24, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't think these wires are power lines, per King. --A.Savin 18:32, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I am certainly no fan of powerlines, but these don't detract from the main subject in a substantial way. However, a slight crop on the left, right and top could minimize them even more and improve the overall composition (see note for an approximation).

- Thank you for your opinion. But I think that the current crop is better for this picture - it needs more space anyway. Maybe I'm wrong. --Alex Florstein (talk) 08:10, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Except for the spider web away from the camera, the power lines work for me. The perspective seems to point left, toward where the clouds are "gathering", adding to the mystique (as in, "hey, what's going on over there?!"). My preference would have been to crop out the cars camera-right; that this is a roadway seemed to detract from the romance, as it were. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 03:12, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
