•  Support For those who don't like the highway sign in the other picture. Please let me know if the wires are getting in the way here ;) -- Specious (talk) 19:05, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment For the previous picture as well, I just think the building itself is boring - just a big glass skyscraper. You would be very hard pushed to get a feature photograph out of it. R-T-C Tim (talk) 09:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
    •  Comment What about the fact that it's not next to other skyscrapers? Isn't that unusual? --Specious (talk) 20:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose bad composition--Sensl (talk) 20:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, of bad composition and low prominence of main subject.

Yes, the wires are in the way; in fact, the composition is such that they seem to be the main topic instead of the building. –Dilaudid 20:57, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Comment Composition is a matter of taste and no technical issue and therefore no FPX reason. --norro 18:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Composition is partly (though not completely) a technical issue. Here it fails because of the visual hierarchy of the elements in the picture. See our guidelines. Please only remove {{FPX}} when you add a support vote. –Dilaudid 17:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

The guidelines say: "The arrangement of the elements within the image should support depiction of the subject, not distract from it." They do not say the subject has to be in front. --Specious (talk) 19:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

The guidelines also say: "Foreground and background objects should not be distracting." –Dilaudid 09:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose I find the composition not that good.--Avala (talk) 20:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose - In addition to above, focus isn't that great either, IMO. Cirt (talk) 04:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
