Oppose Bottom cut --The Photographer 18:02, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- I intentionally cut the stairs. If I added more bottom, you surely would admit that this version looks better. This image is focussing to the hall and avoids the crowds of people which you can see on all other versions of this building. Anyway, thanks for commenting. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 18:48, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- IMHO bottom is important and it's understandable and acceptable see peoples there. Next time you could have two version. Thanks for your feedback --The Photographer 13:49, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

- Support - Looks good to me. It's alright that the staircase blocks part of the bottom. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:27, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Support lNeverCry 20:59, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Support After looking at other photos in the category, I believe that any composition that tries to include more on the bottom will include the entire stairway, which is more than half the height of the tower. So this is a valid composition if you want to focus on the tower itself. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:46, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Minimal support for the detail on the building. Having shot this building myself, I appreciate the challenges of shooting it and trying to frame it the right way (And I agree with The Photographer that tourists there are natural and should be expected).
However, I wish the sky hadn't been so washed out, especially since (as my image and the other ones I took there that day show) it is often very smoggy these days, so a vibrant blue sky is something we should aspire to in a featured image of this iconic building.

- Oppose Per Photographer - wrong cut and also blured sky, acording my opinion. --Karelj (talk) 14:08, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Weak support per Daniel. His photo has some more detail due to higher resolution but the light is better on this one to show off the gilt and the building is much cleaner, whereas Daniel's is very dusty and the sky not so nice. -- Colin (talk) 16:18, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Cccefalon: This should pass as a VI within the scope of the isolated tower. lNeverCry 08:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
