Support Personally, I think that the fact that we have such a rare and daring shot here released under a free license, is an accomplishment on its own. But its also one of the most spectacular views I've ever seen of that particular ball on that particular tower. It really gives you a glimpse of a New York landmark in a way that the average person has never seen before. -- ViperSnake151 (talk) 14:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Very nice perspective. I would support if a slight denoising were done. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:17, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Interesting, indeed. But the technical qualities I find not enough for an FP: lots of noise and CA. --A.Savin 23:30, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice perspective, but too noisy (ISO 1,250). --Cayambe (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support ViperSnake151, could you ask the graphics lab to see if they can fix the noise? I see you have it there already and that may have others change their oppose votes.--Canoe1967 (talk) 17:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did, but they told me to try nominating it for FP to see what they'd suggest. ViperSnake151 (talk) 03:51, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like this very much. And just resize to 6mpx to silence the pixel peeping noise nazis :) People should start judging noise when viewing the picture full screen! But I would like to see a shift in white balance because the galvanized steel is a bit too blue for my taste.--Uberprutser (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Tomer T (talk) 10:18, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment At its current state, I would like to temporarily withdraw the nomination until we get some work done on it. This could be a real winner, but only if we improve it a bit. ViperSnake151 (talk) 22:29, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination by nomintator above. I added this tag in case the bot needs it.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
