•  Support I like this more than the other one. The added shapes at left add some interesting structures/lines to the composition. The crop at left may be a bit tight considering the generous right crop though. lNeverCry 08:36, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Info New version uploaded with even cropping on the left and the right - thanks for noticing that INeverCry -- Thennicke (talk) 09:52, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Now this is nice, especially with the trees breaking in on the sharp lines of the building, stairs and whatever those "fins" are for. --cart-Talk 10:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

• @W.carter: I think the "fins" are just decorative. It's a really strange building in many ways. -- Thennicke (talk) 00:34, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Nice architectural picture and converging lines - Benh (talk) 15:49, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Lovely work with the forms, per other supports. Still a little cool, but I will chalk that up to the photographer's tastes. Daniel Case (talk) 19:11, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

• @Daniel Case: I assume you're referring to the WB? I've tried to keep the lighting and processing consistent with images such as this and this and IMO this is very much as the scene looked (those trees are I think Eucalyptus cinerea and their leaves are blueish-grey, maybe that's making things look too blue to north american eyes?) And thanks for your comment of course -- Thennicke (talk) 00:23, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

@Thennicke: That's sort of what I meant by "the photographer's tastes". You know this scene, I have never been there, and although my mind wants the concrete to be a little warmer (and maybe cheesier) that's not realistic so I defer to your experience there.

There are some eucalyptus trees around on the U.S. East Coast, mostly decorative plantings in larger yards where people wanted a big deciduous shade tree but not (for whatever reason) an oak or maple, but yes of course I haven't set eyes on whole forests of them. Daniel Case (talk) 06:49, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Okay, now I understand :-) The only reason I mention the trees is that this is a rare type of eucalypt even here, with a unique leaf colour. -- Thennicke (talk) 07:40, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Much stronger composition than before. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:10, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support EXIF data very short. Next time: Please add a description to your nomination. --XRay ^talk 16:42, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

• @XRay: Good observation about the EXIF, I'll try my best to track down which program is doing that. I'll also add a more detailed description; thanks for pointing that out -- Thennicke (talk) 02:42, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
