Weak oppose: Nobody's noticed the dust spots yet, or how soft it is? Julia\^talk 20:16, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For softness, I don't quite mind as this is at a high resolution. If we were to insist on sharpness, we'd probably end up with a downsampled image. I cannot comment on dust spots as this monitor is insanely dirty (I'm not at home) Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:58, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I took the resolution into account, which is why I only opposed weakly. But even at the reduced resolution you added (and I had looked at it downsampled before voting), it's visibly unsharp, particularly on any of the spires. I can make exceptions for underwater photography, concert pics, other live events, animals (they move) and plants (wind is often an issue), but this is too easily reproducible to consider it our best work.

Support. Couldn't find any dust spots. Same thoughts on sharpness as Crisco. Clegs (talk) 10:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Beautiful and sharp enough. O.J. (talk) 13:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Now that the dust spots are gone. I took the liberty of applying some sharpening to the original and removing the resize. Saffron Blaze (talk) 00:48, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this is a promotion. I don't know why I haven't closed it yet. Makeemlighter (talk) 01:55, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
