Info View of the Metropolis Building, an office building located at the corner of Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía, center of Madrid, Spain. The building, of Beaux-Arts style, which was quite unusual at the time, was designed by Jules and Raymond Février for the insurance company La Unión y el Fénix and was inaugurated in 1911. The ground level is topped by ornate colonnaded upper floors. The columns support 4 statues representing Mining, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce and the rounded cupola is covered with 30,000 leaves of 24 carat gold.

Oppose The main subject is in the shadow, while the building at right is not. --Yann (talk) 14:14, 1 December 2017 (UTC)- Oppose Harsh light and strange choice of composition (tree on the left, and not sure what to look at, really) - Benh (talk) 20:01, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Regretful oppose So much that went right with this, so much attention to detail (literally and figuratively), but Yann and Benh are right about the light. Daniel Case (talk) 07:43, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
