- Info Night view of the Spasskaya Tower (translated as 'Saviour Tower'), Kremlin, Moscow, Russia. The 71 metres (233 ft) high tower is the main tower of the eastern wall of the Moscow Kremlin and overlooks the Red Square. It was built in 1491 by the Italian architect Pietro Antonio Solari.

- Support Like it. Charles (talk) 20:00, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Camera positioning. I would prefer a front view. Also, unfortunate framing with too much space on the top and not enough on the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:34, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- Well, ok, Basile, I prefered this view, in a front view you can hardly appreciate the real form of the tower. Regarding the crop, I've adjusted it a bit, but as the building is facing to the left, I believe that it is normal to expect a bit more of space in that direction, and it shouldn't be totally centered, either. --Poco2 16:40, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Too distorted. Compare to other photos from the same point: e.g. this one, yes poor quality but looks much more real. Sorry --A.Savin 14:11, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- A.Savin, I've uploaded a new version with a different ratio, is it better now? --Poco2 16:40, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- The new version seems less stretched, but if you look at the clock area, there is the same unnatural distortion (again, compare to other mentioned photos). --A.Savin 19:57, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- A.Savin, I've uploaded a new version with a different ratio, is it better now? --Poco2 16:40, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Per A.Savin. Shot from too close, so the wide-angle perspective is rather extreme when the "perspective distortion" is "corrected". Compare File:Вид на Спасскую башню от Исторического музея.jpg which isn't so extreme in perspective. Also the dark brown sky -- our finest night photography has better light than this. -- Colin (talk) 18:26, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Colin. Daniel Case (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination Poco2 07:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
