•  Info created - uploaded - nominated by -- Berthold Werner (talk) 09:52, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- Berthold Werner (talk) 09:52, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lack of details on the artwork, due to lack of sharpness, but also a bit overexposed. Definitely an QI, though.--Snaevar (talk) 12:43, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Dull colors --Aktron (talk) 16:46, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Support I don´t understand the technical criticism. Nice lighting, good enough level of detail, good composition, valuable subject. Saturation also alright, since I prefer the natural look. Perhaps it would have been even better had the persons been on the left, but in my eyes this is a minor flaw. --Nikopol (talk) 17:57, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Looking at the time this image was shot, i must agree with Nikopol that it is right choice for the colors. Was not long ago since i was there and i think that it is right this way. --Niabot (talk) 19:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Quality (sharpness) is naturally not as good as with stitched panoramas, but good enough for me. My main issue is with the composition which looks a bit random/snapshottish to me. bamse (talk) 23:11, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
  • Try to open it with a graphic program and let it display the Rule of thirds. You should see that it fits very well. --Niabot (talk) 01:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
    • Maybe, but not any image that fits the rule of thirds is pretty to look at IMHO. The flagpole and flag covering major parts of the building feels a bit disturbing to me, not to mention the people in the foreground. Possibly a composition with the flag not in front of the entrance/cuppola could work for me. bamse (talk) 10:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Composition is unbalanced with too much weight on the right side, with the flag overlapping the top of the building, and the people in a less than ideal posture. Furthermore, the Commons collection already has a number of better images of this building like this. --ELEKHH^T 02:14, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose no better than third in quality of the Reichstag, after the one Elekhh points out and File:Reichstag pano.jpg. Courcelles (talk) 08:56, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
