Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Sydney Opera House - Dec 2008.jpg

Reason: It's not a perfect image in terms of technicals (unfortunately, trains and cars running across the bridge cause a substantial amount of vibration which made the image slightly unsharp on a long exposure) and it is much lower resolution than some of my panoramas (still more than enough for FP though), but the view is good, and the nightscape allows the Opera House to stand out more than during the day. It also illustrates many articles prominently as per the articles list.

Support, although I think it could be cropped much more tightly. Kaldari (talk) 15:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It could, but I think this framing allows you to see how the Opera House sits in relation to the environment better. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - If anything it's probably a bit clipped at image right - IMO ideally it would show all of
    Bennelong Point, but the right corner of it appears to be cut off just a bit (going by the lights). --jjron (talk) 13:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply
