  • Oppose I agree with the above, but my main reason for the objection is the whole picture seems to be on a slant to the left - use the structure in the middle as your guide - use the top part of the tower, and the various corner decorations as you progress vertically down the buidling... At full res on my machine there's quite a huge lean to the left... There also appears to be a soft focus across elements of the picture I would expect to be sharp with a file this size... Finally, I would have thought the corner tower should be central to the picture - off to the left slightly just makes this seem inbalanced to me... Bags of potential, but unfortunately seems to miss the mark for me... gazhiley 11:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose – Per previous two comments – plus corner-on shots of large rectangular structures tend to exaggerate perspective. Sca ( talk) 12:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
