•  Support As I child, I was frightened of this building, which was actually a child health clinic. The sculptures by Archibald Dawson are rather creepy. A huge guardian angel with twin babies; a sombre mother and her naked children; and the little boys along the sides all have various ailments. Plus fierce lions. I hope it scares you too. -- Colin (talk) 18:01, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment You kept 3 little boys along the sides on the right and on the left, ok it's good but you loses the effect of a symmetry, the mother and the huge guardien are too much on the left and it's disturbing, so IMO you need to crop at right or you take the same shot from a better position, however good job! -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:26, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
  • I know what you mean, but I think I was straight-on to the front of the building. The building itself is not symmetrical. See Google or Bing for a satellite view. -- Colin (talk) 18:38, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Right, the building is not perpendicular and there is no axis of symmetry. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:43, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment Nothing prevents from making a crop to put the guardien in the center. -- Christian Ferrer

•  Oppose the dark side of the building!? isn't featured for me. I prefer the original. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:28, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose I can't see anything featurable here --Vamps (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose is not enough --Pava (talk) 16:36, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination -- Colin (talk) 16:29, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Alternative centred crop

•  Support This has the right cropped some more so the angel/mother are centred. I can't expand the crop on the left without bringing in quite a different shape/styled part of the building and making it unbalanced for that reason. I still prefer the other one, and don't mind the off-centred composition. -- Colin (talk) 19:35, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Support Thanks to have tried, the both are good. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:44, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose the dark side of the building!? isn't featured for me. I prefer the original.The buildings perspective distortion need a correction too (left side) or a rotation anticlockwise. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:44, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand your comment about perspective distortion. Every vertical is absolutely vertical. And on the entrance side, every horizontal is within a pixel or so of horizontal too. -- Colin (talk) 08:55, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, this was nonsense. I can't tell you why?! I'd like to check it again. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:55, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose ... and here --Vamps (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
