• Comment beautiful picture of a not to thrilling subject. Would have preferred the viewpoint to be set a little to the left to avoid the rubble on the right. --Dschwen 22:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - very crisp, clear and bright. JQF 20:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong oppose. Another bland and boring photo. Some square buildings, some flat water, some faded trees, and a muted sky. Yes, it's clear and crisp and bright and technically perfect. But a featured picture should be stunning, and the only thing stunning about this image is its mediocrity. Zafiroblue05 07:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: "Some square buildings, some flat water, some faded trees, and a muted sky". That's exotic for me! deeptrivia (talk) 01:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! There's no need for a featured picture to be exotic - that is, by the very nature of the word, inconsistent. What's exotic to some people is trivial to others, and vice versa. A FP shouldn't necessarily be exotic, but it should necessarily be striking. And this picture is anything but, particularly in relation to the general norm of nominated pictures.
