Info Interior of the Cathedral of Brasília, Brazil. Designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, engineered by Brazilian structural engineer Joaquim Cardozo, completed and dedicated on May 31, 1970, the cathedral is a hyperboloid structure constructed from 16 concrete columns, weighing 90 tons each.

Support Certain picturesque things don't need perfect symmetry. A classical Niemeyer's style work. BTW, no FPs of this church. -- ★ 19:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Comment But the photo could have been taken to show symmetry. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Symmetry is not a FPC guideline. The dizzy composition convinces me. ★ 23:26, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's a symmetrical architecture, wanted like this, designed with regular and geometrical lines. Thus the angle of view is important, photographically. By neglecting this aspect, the photographer does not highlight a major feature of this building. It's like photographing the interior of a traditional cathedral at an angle, it's not fundamentally wrong, but it's much less attractive than a balanced presentation -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Oppose Not a guideline, but a valid reason to oppose. Looks careless rather than intentional. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Not symmetrical / not in the axis (especially at the top). Also the white structure appears beige on this picture. Resolution is not huge, and the quality too average. Apart from that, the sculptures hiding the architectural work, or competing with it, make the composition cluttered in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support I actually think the nominator did a disservice to this picture by even mentioning the symmetry issue. There is no real reason why this picture should be symmetrical and I think it would be more boring if it were. Cmao20 (talk) 03:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support Юрий Д.К 10:59, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support I’m with Cmao20 here, the composition works for me. Only minor CA’s (we could fix them if they give offence). --Aristeas (talk) 11:55, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'd support if they were fixed. Very nice composition, agreed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:42, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
