•  Oppose - Sorry - the building is tilted and the composition too cluttered for FP status. --MichaelMaggs 18:09, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm creating a second version (image on the right) where the picture is less tilt than the first version Stef48 18:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid that to my eyes it looks too much like a quick snapshot, with too little care taken in choice of viewpoint and camera angle. You could have cut out the cars and the pole, for example, by shooting from where the people are. Also, try to make sure the whole of your subject is in the frame - it detracts that the apex of the dome is cut off. Don't be discouraged, though, as many nominations here don't succeed. You might like to try posting on Commons:Photography critiques or Commons:Quality images. Regards, --MichaelMaggs 18:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I understand you ! It's my first featured picture candidate ... Stef48 18:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose, horrible technical quality, bad composition. --Aqwis 19:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Stef48 has said that this was a first FP candidate. Is your intemperate language necessary, and do you think it will encourage Stef48 to consider Commons a friendly, helpful place? --MichaelMaggs 19:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but it isn't important ... I keep cool Stef48 22:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
