Since none of the problems I mentioned are present in the new version, I change my vote to Support. Great colours, light, ok sharpeness. --Aqwis (talkcontributions) 21:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I do hope this is not inappropriate - I've only just noticed this nomination, and am flattered. I do feel that many of the comments made are valid, and in light of this have uploaded a newer version - higher res, with a lot less noise and artifacting. I've also adjusted the composition better, as I think the shot benefits from the 'waterline' being lower. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Achromatic (talkcontribs) 20:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose based on usage (please refer to criterion 5). Adds little to no value to this 'article' (well, list) - in fact I'd say it's rather misleading as it only shows 'downtown' Seattle which could suggest to users that that is what is meant by an urban area. The photos of say LA and New York in that article are far more illustrative in this regard. (Incidentally, the new upload hasn't addressed the file naming problems raised by Cacophony either.) --jjron (talk) 08:28, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, looks great as a thumbnail, but is a huge letdown in full size. The noise may be gone, but the details are too. The highlights look way oversharpened, displaying strong aliasing. Plus I second Jjron's comment about filename and adding value to the 'article'. --Dschwen 00:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Oppose per Dschwen. The details are gone and the colors are smudged. Is there a better copy of this anywhere? Purple Is Pretty (talk) 23:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
