Oppose -- Not very sharp, the sign at the front is distracting, I don't like the way it's cut off by the trees, and I also think the image should be wider (to show more of the sky) for a better composition. Sorry. Naerii (talk) 09:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)- Oppose I agree with Naerii - the foreground sign is far too prominent and noticable. R-T-C Tim (talk) 12:16, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment I meant the sign to be prominent. It was supposed to be part of the composition. Honestly, I just figured no one would be wowed by just a skyscraper these days, so I made sure to include something else. To get both the sign and the building sharp, I did indeed sacrifice some overall sharpness, but the image is 10 megapixels! Also, the building is surrounded by trees, so there isn't a clear view. So, how do you guys want to see this skyscraper? --Specious (talk) 19:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - it's not notable. inclusion of sign because it would be more interesting? We are not looking for interesting but educative and this sign can be used in which article exactly?--Avala (talk) 20:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I believe I understand why this shot (which looks great geometrically to me) won't interest most people. Thanks for the feedback! --Specious (talk) 19:16, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
