File:NYCBrooklynBridge.jpgOriginal - This is a view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the 21st floor of 140 Cadmen Plaza West. Or, more concisely: Brooklyn Bridge, spanning the East River, in 2007.
Reason
Depicts the Brooklyn Bridge, an important New York City landmark, and surrounding area very well, therefore has high encyclopedic value; high-resolution and also quite striking visually

Weak oppose Excellent subject, good resolution, but flat lighting. Reviewed our FPs when this nom came up because I thought we already had a shot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Apparently not. Thank you very much for nominating; I think we can do better. DurovaCharge! 16:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Support Not sure what could be done about the lighting when it's a clear blus sky already (not that I think it's an issue anyway), so as a good quality picture of the subject I think it qualifies.Terri G (talk) 19:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Oppose, just not nearly crisp enough for an FP. Look at Diliff's shot of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. That's approaching the crispness we'd need but since this is a day show we should be able to do even better. grenグレン 22:19, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Oppose unflattering composition. It's a good photo, and very useful for Wikipedia. But no wow. Stevage 00:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Oppose ditto on the crispness and composition noted above. And more importantly, where's Spiderman? Sasata (talk) 08:29, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Oppose Composition; bridge towers lay on top of cluttered buildings, no contrast between subject and background. --Bridgecross (talk) 14:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Weak oppose I actually like the composition, but the quality is lacking. It looks as if it was taken with a low-quality camera. It is a great shot, and would get my complete support if it was more 'crisp', as discussed. -- mcshadyplTC 18:52, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately the angle obscures one of the most distinctive architectural features of the bridge: the Gothic arches on the masonry towers. DurovaCharge! 17:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
