•  Support though the grass blades in the foreground are quite blurry ;-) --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 18:36, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I like the image. (Some parts are a little bit noisy but OK.)--XRay ^talk 07:07, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
  • It was taken at ISO 64 with one of the best DSLR sensors in existence... There is no noise anywhere, as far as I can see! Diliff (talk) 08:55, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
    • Wonder if XRay is not referring to the jaggy edges that I can definitely see. If I recall, this "best DSLR" has no AA filter. Maybe this could explain the issue. - Benh (talk) 10:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
      • I've seen the jagged lights, but IMO it comes from the electrical light and it's not disturbing.--XRay ^talk 10:53, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
        • Yeah, I pointed this out in the nomination on EN FPC also and suggested it was the AA filter. I don't think it's because of the electrical lights though, because there's also jagged edges on the bridge. I'm pretty sure it's the lack of AA filter. Diliff (talk) 12:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
          • To make it clear, I was talking about the "zipper" lines (finally found the word after a good sleep ;) ), but the jagged lines are there as well. Not sure they really come from lack of AA filter as I lack knowledge of how the latter affects demosaicing (If someone knows, I'd be happy to know). But this are niggles :) - Benh (talk) 21:37, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support outstanding quality and great compo. Though I could imagine a tighter crop would make it even better (the bottom is imo redundant). But anyway... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:16, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support as Benh I'm not a big fan of black sky images, but here we have a good reason: the white lamps are a good contrast for the black sky and the imrepssion in general doesn't seem to be to dark for me --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:03, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 04:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support per Martin Falbisoner regarding the bottom crop. D810 in January 2014 ? --Cayambe (talk) 09:34, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice composition, and sharp, but I'm not a huge fan of the black sky. - Benh (talk) 10:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Well, I do actually like the contrast between the black sky and the white bridge, quality is also convincing, FP to me. Poco² 11:49, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Nice composition, excellent quality, interesting motive. I guess that this one is a night shot which is better at dark night than at blue hour. The strong contrast between black and very bright areas make this shot special. --Tuxyso (talk) 14:02, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose a road, photoshop, and so what ? Jiel (talk) 22:40, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
  • And what do you mean by Photoshop? It's a very loaded word and can mean many things. Diliff (talk) 01:14, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support - superb work! Liked it as soon as I saw it on Flickr page of Saffron Blaze. Nikhil (talk) 02:19, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment This image was in no way edited in photoshop. I hadn't set the clock and date on the camera when I took this hence the Jan 14 date. I do (now) have a blue hour shot that is similar to this and avoids the grass via cropping into a very wide aspect image. I won't be posting anything for a couple of weeks though as I am away. Happy if you put this on hold and I will load as an alt.
