•  Oppose It certainly look nice, however cropped staircase railing makes the composition unfinished for me. -- Pofka (talk) 08:28, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I respectfully disagree with Pofka, I think a wider cropped staircase may make the image too "busy". Also, the point of main interest is in the center. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:46, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

@Urban Versis 32: I just don't think that this picture is on the same level as other FP-class pictures of staircases: 1, 2, 3, 4. The first example has a slightly cropped staircase railing, but has an excellently balanced crop in the center. The third and fourth examples also has slightly cropped staircase railings, but their compositions are very well balanced. In comparison, this picture has quite randomly looking crop in both sides. You might be right that that the wider crop may make this image even worse, but then it would be the same argument: the composition is not outstanding to be a FP. We have a lot of photos of various staircases in Commons, but only a few pictures of them are FP-class (see: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Architectural elements#Stairs and Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors). -- Pofka (talk) 19:40, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

You do make a good point, and I understand your argument, however just by personal preference I am keeping my support for this image. (See George's comment too). Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Pofka -- Wolf im Wald 16:16, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think Pofka is right, though I'd have to see the alternative to judge it. This composition doesn't really work for me, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support. A nice image that has a basic idea. And if architecture is a frozen music, then this image also has its own rhythm. Excellent composition IMO -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 19:17, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
