  • Support typical view of Jaffa. But can you add notes in the Commons page, identifying the mentioned buildings? Tomer T (talk) 15:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but I've never done that before. Please give me a day or two. Thanks.-Godot13 (talk) 06:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done.-Godot13 (talk) 06:26, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This composition is dominated by the ugly sea wall and the beach and doesn't seem to show much of interest. Nick-D (talk) 10:55, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think that ALT1 is an improvement I'm afraid, as it doesn't show much of obvious interest. This is a useful image and the technical standards of the photo are excellent, but the composition is not of FP standard I'm afraid. Nick-D (talk) 03:37, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. I agree with Nick-D: this is mostly a picture of an ugly sea wall. Sorry. Drmies (talk) 01:53, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
ALT.1 – View (from the Tel Aviv Promenade) of Jaffa, including the bell tower of St. Peter's Church and the minaret of Al-Bahr Mosque .
  • Comment - Added ALT version cropping out the sea wall.-Godot13 (talk) 02:23, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose ALT1, very much so. That is harshly off-centre — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:34, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, reverted to the first version of the ALT. No more changes from me. It may simply not be a FP...-Godot13 (talk) 02:50, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sea wall is pretty much unavoidable unless you were to take a photograph from a helicopter hovering over the ocean, which I doubt is going to be very feasible. That being said, the actual impact of the sea wall could be cut back by taking a photograph from a boat and then stitching a panorama of the town's coastline. A lot of the panorama images were done like that. It can turn out quite nice — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:59, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, while I like this better, I don't think it's an FP. Drmies (talk) 02:47, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original, oppose alt. Graffiti or not, the sea wall is a nice curved line that draws in the viewer's eyes. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:10, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. In my opinion, the "ALT.1" version gives an unrealistic impression of the view from that position. 86.160.87.129 (talk) 17:38, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original would be better if sea wall would be skipped. I hope someone make it happen, till then supporting this pic Godhulii 1985 (talk) 20:39, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
