  • Neutral. It's a great composition and a really interesting subject, but the limited amount of detail and the washed-out appearance keep me from supporting, as those factors significantly limit its encyclopedic value.--ragesoss (talk) 15:22, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually looking at File:Aerial view of Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong on 1989-03-27.jpg you'll see it used to be more washed out. Anyway, I thought factors like those were for the other contest. Jidanni (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, valued pictures don't require the same level of technical quality as featured pictures, but when technical quality is low enough that it begins to interfere with encyclopedic value, then it does become a factor. That's my opinion here, that the image quality is low enough that it compromises the encyclopedic value.--ragesoss (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, next time I'll remember to open the airplane window, and use a digital camera, 20 years ago. :-) Jidanni (talk) 23:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
