Oppose - I'm sorry, I'd love to support a photo of this bridge, but in this case, it's a photo of part of the bridge (I guess from Roosevelt Island), facing the uninteresting Queens side. I remember walking over this bridge in the late afternoon years ago and seeing the yellow sunlight glinting off the old factories further north than shown in the picture, which made them look kind of beautiful. I think this scene probably looked more beautiful to you in person, but I don't think the light is special enough to make the view that interesting, and the cutoff of the bridge bothers me.

Support Another WLM-US submission that, this time, did meet with a lot of judicial approval. I'm not bothered by it being of the Queens side ... I have a feeling Long Island City will grow more in the future, and this picture may capture a moment in its development that will be past sooner than we realize. Also, at least this way you get that feel of the city at sunset, something that would be different from the opposite side as you'd have a lot of backlit buildings (I suppose someone could try that at sunrise, though ... it might get that quality of the view of which Fitzgerald wrote ("the city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city as seen for the first time") Daniel Case (talk) 02:45, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
