Oppose Colors of the sky look so strange Jiel (talk) 09:40, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- They might look strange but I don't think they are unnatural. At this time of the evening, with some light clouds, I often get similar looking clouds which are orange or red because of the glow from street lights. Diliff (talk) 11:33, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support But I think some of the sky could be cropped down for balance. Daniel Case (talk) 05:55, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Done I agree, thank you Daniel!--ArildV (talk) 19:11, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose It is a good and quality shot but does not meet FP level to me. The bridge itself is not a very appealing subject (with poor lighting) and cuts of the nicer buildings (especially the walkie-talkie building) in the background. The street lamp in the middle is also pretty disturbing. A higher POV would have been probably more interesting. Poco2 17:18, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- I decided to nominate the picture when I saw that it was used to illustrate a talk by Peter Wynne Rees (the chief planner of the City of London from 1985). London is not Paris or Florence, it is a much more chaotic urban landscape (not as harmonious and beautiful, but perhaps more exciting). The picture captures the urban landscape with typical elements for London. The River Thames, one of many railway bridges, all generations of the skyscrapers in city, the typical mix of old and new. I do not care if the bridge is not appealing, the bridge is IMO an interesting and important part of the urban landscape.--ArildV (talk) 17:55, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
