Support, beautiful.

Support. Amazing. Looks very warm, inviting colours.

Sadly oppose. The lights are overexposed and blurry, and the large motion-blurred train distracting. —

Support. For the same reasons that Cryptic opposes :) -

Weak support - It's absolutely lovely, but I'm not sure which article it would readily add something to that couldn't be better illustrated in a more mundane way. It wouldn't illustrate the article on that train very well. The tall buildings - are they all in an area we have an article on, eg Bangkok financial district or something? --

Good points there. It does show the way the trains are elevated along the middle of the roads in Bankok though. I don't think it should necessarily be featured purely because it is pretty, but because it provides a good view of the financial district and a view of the train system that operates in the area at a particularly vivid time of day. Thats just my opinion.

I added it to "golden hour (photography)" which I think it illustrates masterfully.--

Support. The warm glow is inviting to a picture of a city better known for pollution.

Support - Dilff, you're ruining us all from objectively judging all the other slightly less than mindblowing images here! :oD I would love to see higher resolution though....--

Full support. Amazing colors, great balance of natural and artificial lighting. I really like the motion blur, makes it even more vivid and dynamic. --

Support. I usually dislike artificially warm skies but it works here.
Rhobite 01:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)reply
Actually, it isn't artificially warm. That is pretty much as I saw it - an amazing sunset. I could show you a photo taken towards the sunset, rather than away from it, but it isn't particularly encyclopaedic, just pretty. Then again, we DO have a
sunset article
Diliff 03:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)reply
You didn't play with the white balance at all (not that there's anything wrong with that)? Wow!
Rhobite 05:10, 25 October 2005 (UTC)reply
No, no adjustments to the white balance at all. This is the photo I took facing the opposite direction to this (at approximately the same time, anyway. The sunset went through various phases starting with the amazing golden colour, to dark orange/red to red/purple over the course of about 15 minutes). You can see the photo I was referring to here [
[1]]. I will admit that in this second photo, I brought the shadows out quite a lot as the foreground was originally quite dark, but the sky was left largely as-is.
