Info Queen Emma Bridge and Handelskade, Willemstad, Curaçao. Queen Emma Bridge is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the island's capital. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of oceangoing vessels. All by me --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:15, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like the composition, but the color of the sky looks slightly off to me. Buidhe (talk) 10:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks fine on my calibrated screen. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral This kind of horizontal composition with no foreground, midground, or background just doesn't work for me, sorry. I do like the sequence of bridge supports and the clouds, though. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 14:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral per KoH, it's a beautiful place and a nice photo but the composition doesn't quite work for me. Cmao20 (talk) 20:03, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question The clouds are nice, but so much sky and water makes the bridge look a bit forlorn in the middle. Have you considered a more panorama-like crop? Note added. --Cart (talk) 22:42, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Really busy. The arches hide the buildings, and the handrail hides the people. Cluttered image -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Info I'm following Cart's advice here, a tighter crop is better. Also pinging Buidhe, XRay, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠, Cmao20, and Basile Morin. Basile, you're right. The image is busy - as the bridge really is busy. It's difficult to get on a picture anyway, the only alternative perspective I could offer would be this one. I like it, too, but it doesn't really point out the striking bridge supports. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:13, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK too. --XRay ^talk 06:39, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Works for me now. --Cart (talk) 06:17, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose, per my comment above. Busy bridge. Agree with KoH and Cmao20. I did not vote for Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:View of Otrobanda, Willemstad, Curaçao - February 2020.jpg but think the composition was still better -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:39, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Oversharpened with halos around the heads of the people --Llez (talk) 09:25, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per Llez, the sharpening artefacts are easily apparent at full magnification. Buidhe (talk) 09:48, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Llez, Buidhe: adjusted. Should be better --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:49, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I am still seeing halos after force-reloading the page. Buidhe (talk) 10:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's odd... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:20, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per Basile. --StellarHalo (talk) 12:16, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:55, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
