Hong Kong skyline (2019)

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 10 Oct 2019 at 18:11:05 (UTC)

Reason: This is one of those FP substitution nominations - the intention is to replace the existing FPs File:Hong Kong Skyline Restitch - Dec 2007.jpg and File:Hong Kong Night Skyline.jpg. Has superior resolution and is more up to date and dramatic than the existing FPs. Was seen on Commons FPC last week, where it was featured unanimously.
Articles in which this image appears: Light pollution in Hong Kong, List of tallest buildings in Hong Kong, List of cities with the most skyscrapers plus others when substituted
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Places/Panorama

Neutral. I'm not sure I would replace the previous excellent FPs. I love the Diliff (it has special atmosphere and a more balanced composition) and they show quite a different and unobstructed view. I do agree my picture has a bigger resolution though (but that's stating the obvious). - Benh (talk) 19:59, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support, for the high resolution. I prefer to retain the other two FP images (different decade, composition, dynamic range). I see more wow factor in the other two images at full screen (not full size). Bammesk (talk) 02:52, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Even though Diliff's photo is better in some respects, this one is definitley worthy to be FP. No need to delist the other, we can well have two somewhat similar FPs. --Janke | Talk 12:34, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If this is promoted that would be three similar FPs. MER-C 16:52, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I think I prefer the rectilinear projection and narrower field of view of Diliff's image, especially as none of these appear in Hong Kong any more, but then there is an argument to say that a newer image that presumably better represents the current skyline has better EV.
