•  Info Old parliament house, Canberra, Australia. If anybody's wondering about the choice of an oblique angle, it's because there are obstructions out the front (see [1])
•  Info Created, uploaded, nominated by Thennicke

•  Comment The buildings at the left and at the right look very distorted. -- Spurzem (talk) 12:24, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

• @Spurzem: Indeed they are distorted (rectilinearly at least). I had to stand quite close; it's a very difficult building to photograph. Of course, you're free to oppose if the distortion is too great for your eyes. -- Thennicke (talk) 13:12, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

No, I will not oppose. But I think you can correct the distortion. -- Spurzem (talk) 14:26, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Clear and technical good photography, but not really distinguished in my opinion. The numerous flagpoles and cars in front of the building are distracting the view of the building. Dont't know if this is really the possible best view of this building but this one doesn't approach me. --Wladyslaw (talk) 17:14, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Wladyslaw. I don't care for the leaning perspective and distortion. INeverCry 20:29, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Sadly, the best possible view is no longer viewable; trees have grown and the artificial lake you can see here [2] has been drained. That said, I might be able to try something like this [3] sometime. Regardless, I agree with you all that it can be done better. -- Thennicke (talk) 01:41, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
