~~Support~~ Very nice, artistically. ~~Has good EV.~~ --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 18:11, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Change to Oppose both per the below discussion on reduced EV due to the buildings' color not showing at night. Option 2 is not good enough for FP IMO. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 23:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - By that logic the daylight shot should be penalized for not showing the lights. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments More buildings in the picture would have been better. extra999 (talk) 10:18, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I find trouble with this. Perhaps a picture during daylight hours would be better; with the nighttime one, one cannot tell what the shades of metal and glass on the different buildings are. It's a wonderful picture, but perhaps we could consider this second option (or one similar to it), taken during daylight hours, instead. Indefatigable2 (talk) 18:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Original I am convinced; the trouble I had above is over. This is FP material. The detail is excellent. Indefatigable2 (talk) 05:39, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose both ~~alt (option 2)~~ I'm not seeing the EV here. I agree with Indefatigable2, and would prefer a daylight photo to show the wharf in action. But alt is a snapshot photograph, and the night image, while very nice and sharp, shows me the outlines of the buildings, but not much else. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 20:07, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Original. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:04, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support original~~ Changed my mind regarding its EV. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 18:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'm with Keraunoscopia- while the original is quite striking (a good Commons candidate), the second has the encyclopedic value. J Milburn (talk) 18:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay so I'm not crazy. I agree, it's a pretty picture but my original opinion wasn't way off the chart. I'll oppose both and be done with it. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 19:12, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This business of denigrating the EV of nighttime skylines is asinine. The Canary Wharf skyline is distinctive both during the day and night. The day one isn't better, it is simply different. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
