- Support Yet another excellent image. Not as much EV as some of the others you've nominated lately, but still good enough. Keep up the good work! Makeemlighter (talk) 06:37, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support - I wish I could use watercolors like that... VX!~~~ 05:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support - Excellent image and EV. But maybe it is superfluous in the second article. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:46, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support per Alvesgaspar. Lovely, interesting painting.Fletcher (talk) 03:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Support - I think this is a very good work with high EV. I also think it works well in both articles. One minor question though: is this tilted clockwise by a couple degrees or is it supposed to be like that? ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 04:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- His original watercolor was tilted and the smokestacks are not parallel. One doesn't expect the shoreline to come out horizontal because this appears to have been a diagonal view across the river. This restoration has been rotated for correction, and due to the nature of the tilt there's a necessary loss of foreground. It's an act of compromise because the more one corrects the tilt, the more of the sky and foreground get sacrificed. DurovaCharge! 04:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. Thanks for the thorough response. Still support. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 05:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

- Comment I geocoded this with some degree of precision as the article didn't have coordinates. I consequently discovered that Ram-Man had a bunch of images geocoded in Bethlehem and have asked him if he can improve the precision. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
