Comment. Colour balance seems way off, far too warm. But should be easily fixed.

I've been there and the image does not strike me as unnaturally warm, although in cloudy weather the building appears much darker. --

I'm not saying the building looks off-colour (it's already warm coloured so it's much harder to judge), it's the rest of the scene that is warm tinted. Look at any of the whites in the scene, they're all skewed towards the red. I'm loathe to upload over the top of it as it's already featured elsewhere, but I think a colour correction would help. I don't know whether uploading an edit is the answer either though.

Whites appear white on my screen but you're more than welcome to upload and nominate a corrected version under an Alt name. --

Done. I used the white of the VW logo on the side of the building as the guide for the WB correction as some of the other whites may have been a bit creamy or off-white to begin with.

Many thanks, I can see the difference now. --

Oppose - There is scaffolding visible on the façade between the towers from a possible ongoing restoration work.

Scaffolding is normal, hardly distracting on a factory. In this case it obscures 0.1% or so of the image. I don't see how that's an argument enough to oppose....--

Oppose This image and the article don't really mesh. The article is about Wolfsburg. The article makes it note that the VW factory is the most notable part of the city. But the VW factory isn't the city. At the same time, the image shows only the factory's power station, not the factory. It's also a wide photograph of a square subject, therefore I have to also mention that I think the crop on the right is poor. The image should be on an article about the VW plant... or it should show the city. Not just a part of the factory which is a part of the city. Does this make sense? I also find it a touch contrasty, but that's a personal thing (I find a lot of FPs to be too contrasty). – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 20:19, 1 July 2013 (UTC)reply
At first, I was going to argue that
Harescombe has a section devoted to the church, whereas
Wolfsburg merely mentions the VW factory almost in passing a couple of times, but then I looked at the article more closely and it's obvious "Volkswagen" plays a major role in the city—something I should've checked first instead of skimming the topmost part of the article. So I'll change my vote to Support Edit 1. Thanks for bringing to my attention. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 00:21, 2 July 2013 (UTC)reply
