Review (criteria)	Question I guess this is a more accurate depiction than File:Kress Building Downtown Houston (HDR).jpg, including the notable slope in this one? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)  Comment Kress Building Downtown Houston (HDR).jpg is a better candidate: the distortion of the image on the right is too important: the street going up and the balconies are unrealistic. -- Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)  Comment I think the ramp leading to the Light Rail platform adds to the appearance of slope. Not sure about the reference to the balconies. If it's the building on the right, in both pictures they appear to appear to slop up while the roof slopes down. But, no matter. . . The building is not white, nor does it have a snout sticking into the sky. You must choose between an essentially accurate rendition of the subject (the building) with aspects outside the subject which no ordinary viewer will notice and a rendition of the building that's grotesque and overexposed. -- Jim Evans (talk) 16:17, 10 May 2021 (UTC)  Oppose In favor of File:Kress Building Downtown Houston (HDR).jpg. It seems that there is some disagreement on the matter, but I believe that not just the subject but also the surroundings should be represented as accurately as possible. There is no slope on this street in real life as far as I can tell. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 20:35, 10 May 2021 (UTC) Result: 0 support, 1 oppose => declined.
