Comment In full view it looks overprocessed --A.Savin 13:49, 3 September 2017 (UTC)- Weak
Oppose. This is a well-composed shot of a beautiful building, but a little too unsharp and noisy in my opinion. Taking the picture almost an hour and a half after sunset (at the end of astronomical twilight) means there's basically no light left, and you have to scramble by using a large aperture and jacking up the shadow recovery, and it shows. Shooting this late is only really necessary for astrophotography; for all other subjects, it is does not use all the light possible for a blue hour shot and so does not represent our best work IMO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:40, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- While I appreciate the feedback (and thank you for the compliments), I have images of the same subject in roughly 10-minute intervals all the way back to sunset. I chose this one because of the compositional importance of the interior lights. I wanted the atrium and its surrounds to be lit up, which requires minimal light. -- Thennicke (talk) 23:58, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:16, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support this isn't QI (noise,sharp etc...here have Feature pic very noisy in the past!),composition is very good....maybe the colours aren't "Exquisite" but i find that this can represent our best work here --LivioAndronico (talk) 22:16, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I'm not really enjoying the colours, nor the weird brightness in the sky above the building. -- Colin (talk) 11:56, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose largely per King; the lighting sort of makes it look like a Thomas Kinkade painting. I would add to his critique the weird halo over the building on the right (maybe it's some light source behind it but as it is I can't tell) and the posterization on the inside of the concrete feature just outside the window.
