  • Nominate and support. - Tolivero 14:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I think this is a great shot. The colors of the buildings are beautiful and I like the way it is portrayed horizontally. Great job! Christine
  • Weak Oppose. Its not bad, but the resolution isn't all that it could be (yes, it is more than 1000px wide, but its ratio means that it is not very tall or detailed). I get the feeling that it probably isn't the best composition or view, but this is just the impression I get, I have no idea what limitations there are.

  • Weak Oppose. There are two specks in the sky that could either be birds or dust/dirt. Because of the ambiguity they should probably be cloned out, whatever they are. I would be willing to support this if the resolution/sharpness were higher. There's so much detail lost at this resolution. -- moondigger 14:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose composition really isn't great. There is apparently a river or canal (bay?) in the foreground which has been left out of shot, there are buildings on the right which aren't doing anything, the mast of the boat to the left is distracting (you can't see the whole boat), and the focus of the image isn't clear. Are we looking at the church or the row of houses? If the latter, it's a pity they're half obscured behind a railing, cars and trees. IMHO this photo would be much better if cropped at the bright blue house on the left, at the red house on the left, and with some water showing at the front, so we could understand the view these houses have.

  • Support. Yes, it is somewhat unclear of what the viewers are viewing, but I think it is a great shot. Unique and colorful-
