Oppose -- Magnificent shot, truly. But unfortunately it suffers from excessive jpg compression leaving it lacking in fine, crisp detail and full of jpg artifacts. Imagine this shot at twice the resolution and perfectly sharp!

It would be my wallpaper in about 5 seconds. I'll see if Bgag is still active, and if he still has a version with less compression.

For what it's worth, I've
asked the uploader if he still has the original. If I ever go to Paris or return to Quebec, my French is liable to get me shot...

Looking at a few of his other images, they all seem to suffer in the same way. Pity, he's got some great shots.

Weak oppose this version but agree that the same angle with better clarity could work. Hopefully the uploader will respond.

He has (on my talk page) and he says that on his trip to Japan he did not know much about compression and had a small memory card; he also suggests that we look at some of his more recent pictures, like in Syria, Jordan, and Taiwan. Oh well. :-(
