•  Support I would take out some grey and put in some blue into the sky. --P e z i (talk) 23:05, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support The dark sky combined with the warm sunlight look very good. No blue sky required :) The centered and symmetrical compositon works here. --Tuxyso (talk) 06:28, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Would have been great to have more of the stairs in both sides, maybe stuff for a panorama Poco² 01:09, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment I concur with the others and would recommend you add the version with the stairs as an alt. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:13, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks to everyone who has voted and commented. Personally I think this crop is stronger from a photographic POW, and both version are useful imo. But if you like I'll be happy to add the second image as a alternative.. The alternative proposed is a different photo, taken with a different lens (25 seconds before). Regards --ArildV (talk) 08:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support I like including the stairs in the alternative, but I prefer this one; I think the alternative but would improve with less sky, so that the building would fill more space in the frame and be more protagonist. --Kadellar (talk) 13:18, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Poco² 13:20, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support better crop, better sky, ... --P e z i (talk) 13:42, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose sorry, prefer the first one, the light and the composition are clearly better to me, the crop on the side seems optimal. --A.Savin 16:53, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support Better crop. But I agree with A.Savin that the colors appear better on the first - did you use the same WB on both? If not I would suggest copying over your WB settings. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:07, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment All settings in LR (including WB) is identical. However, the photos are taken with different lenses (this one without a UV filter). I also agree with A.Salvin , the original image is much better (I dont support this version, I just added to it because you asked for it).--ArildV (talk) 21:23, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
