•  Info Liberty Science Center in the morning fog -- all by King of Hearts -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:07, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Support -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:07, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Interesting building, nice trees, beautiful light, pleasant fog, but you could consider cropping out close to 1/3 of the picture in the foreground. If you don't, I might support, anyway. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:00, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Ikan’s proposal seems very reasonable to me. --Aristeas (talk) 15:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry but IMO no wow, I don't find this building nice. --A.Savin 07:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Support -- Karelj (talk) 09:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not quite there for me. As Ikan Kakek mentions, could use a crop; the foreground grass and trees just swallow up the building. Horizontal lines on tower camera left are slightly off horizontal, leading it to feel unbalanced. Fog is a bit thin and doesn't add much to this photo. And a bit lacking in "wow" as Karelj mentions. Fixing the crop and distortion would bring this up to neutral for me, might need something else to add "wow" for support. --Lambda (talk) 16:18, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment The edits bring this from oppose to neutral for me. Not quite the "wow" to support, but good enough not to oppose. --Lambda (talk) 17:40, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek, Aristeas, A.Savin, Karelj, and Lambda: I have made a cropped and corrected version. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:16, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Thanks. I like it better, but I still would support some more cropping. I'll come back to this later. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:53, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Thank you! Good for me; feels much more balanced now. --Aristeas (talk) 19:34, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Light isn't working. I think you need to find a time/date when that dome will be lit such that one appreciates its roundness. The hint of mist and golden light isn't enough to rescue what is rather a drab facade. -- Colin (talk) 07:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

  That's not really possible; this view is from the northeast, so illuminating the dome while not leaving the entire facade in shadow would require the sun to be directly due north, which doesn't exist in the Northern Hemisphere. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:34, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

  @King of Hearts: "...would require the sun to be directly due north, which doesn't exist in the Northern Hemisphere." Yes it does. Daniel Case (talk) 15:31, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

  LOL! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose I can see what you might have been trying to do but it doesn't come across here. Frankly I've always thought the better views of this building are from the other side, where you can get the Manhattan skyline into it as a background (and unfortunately I remember that view most because of coming down there a few days after 9/11 and getting, along with hundreds of other people just staring silently at it, a reasonably closeup view of the twisting column of black smoke still rising from the center of Lower Manhattan. Better and worse than seeing it on TV at the same time. Daniel Case (talk) 15:30, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak support I still feel like I'd like more cropping, but I also feel like there's enough of interest in the composition to sustain a supporting vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:30, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Support --MZaplotnik^(talk) 15:39, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Support.--Vulp❯❯❯here! 12:07, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Support --Ivar (talk) 11:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Neutral This is a difficult one to me, so I will whether oppose not support. The crop is probably too wide, the ligthing nice but it would have been probably better waiting a bit more, not sure. The facade isn't he nicest indeed but not ugly. Poco a poco (talk) 17:28, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

  Indeed the lighting gets stronger over time, but the fog was rapidly dissipating and I needed to capture this before it was all gone. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:42, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
