Support as nominator – Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:07, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Image does a poor job of illustrating the Venetian Lagoon. Where's the shore? Where's the inlet? All we see are the islands of Venice and a small section of the barrier island (but it's cut off so we don't know it's an island). These are much better true-colour images that show what the lagoon looks like. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:49, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, EtienneDolet only added the image to the article before the nomination, and the image page lacks an English description, so it fails FPCC #5 and #7. I've also corrected the creator credit in the nom (couldn't verify accuracy as source link is dead). --Paul_012 (talk) 20:58, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Per Paul_012. Sorry, but it's not even apparent at first glance that it shows a city. Sca (talk) 15:09, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca: Well, the picture primarily depicts the lagoon and I nominated it under that subject. Étienne Dolet (talk) 22:25, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - If it's supposed to show the lagoon, it should be a wider view. Now, it just looks like an island. --Janke | Talk 07:23, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
