- Self nomination --Zimbres 2006-January-22
- Neutral maybe a bit too gray... Isn't there a law about the photos of recent architectures and copyright in Brazil? ♦ Pabix ℹ 19:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- "There is no image copyright of any permanent public work in Brazilian copyright Law. This building is a work of Niemeyer, an important brazilian architect" Zimbres 13:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

- Support -- Husky 23:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral Confusing: is the rain thing always on this sort of a cup ? (I don't think so, but it looks like a nuclear station funnel; I would prefer something which describes the subject rather than play with it). Rama 16:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- Support --Klemen Kocjancic 06:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose What is the subject? The rain or the building? Both is not that special and i don't understand the composition norro 20:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Support -- Sam916 03:39, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose funny picture (is it really just raining into that bowl?), but appart from that it's not that special -- Gorgo 12:11, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral - A clever pic lining up the distant rain shower with the bowl on the roof so that it looks like the one is falling in the other. But as a building, its photogenicity leaves a lot to be desired! A good mark for the photography, a bad one for the building's architect. - MPF 12:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- The building was planned and executed at some time between late 1950s and early 60s (wp article on Oscar Niemeyer does not give the exact date). Many of the architectural details are typical of this period. Samsara 12:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support Hein 08:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral Nice futuristic shot, the Earth extending into the sky and the sky into the Earth. Circle of life. Allegorical, but unclear what its use in an encyclopedia would be. - Samsara 13:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Samsara. Its usability for an encyclopedia is not necassary. The commons are the media project for all other wikimedia projects. Wikipedia is just one of several of them. norro 16:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Support -- Parassimpa 14:19, 01 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Not exceptional. --Lumijaguaari 22:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Rex 23:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: should Image:Brasilia_National_Congress.JPG be nominated as well? Samsara 12:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support Witty. Impressive. Beautiful cold hues and great composition (both physically and allegorically)--Piolinfax 14:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- It took me a long time to decide. The qualities of both the photograph and the building are not convincing, but the rain that seems to fall into the "bowl" definitely gives some distinction to the picture. So finally I Support it. Calderwood 16:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
