- Support Very good - can you replace image on Wikipedia article. Charles (talk) 12:57, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- Done -- Thennicke (talk) 13:46, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- Support - I was thinking this building just wasn't featurable from my point of view, but your edits to brighten and crop the photo have made a huge difference. It's funny how relatively small a change can make the difference between a decent photo and a really good one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- Support Per Ikan, who hits the nail on the head, like so many times before. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 15:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but I'm not wowed and I don't get the wide support. It's just a good photo of a notable building. It's of course QI (though some remaining CA's at the left still there), but it was taken in plain midday light, so that the grass looks fade-out and the scenery rather boring. I also don't find the architecture particularly special. To get a wow photo of this, maybe a good idea to do it on Blue hour like on this photo (which itself is technically poor, but could maybe serve as a source of inspiration). --A.Savin 17:10, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- @A.Savin: I'm still deciding what I think about this review, but in the meantime, thanks for providing it; it's making me think more about how important the subject or the lighting are for making "wow" in an image. I'd like to point out that a lot of your own architectural images are also taken in harsh midday light though -- Thennicke (talk) 10:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yes; when on travel, there is very limited choice what to photograph at which time of day. But nominating a photo on FPC is quite another story. --A.Savin 10:47, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, I guess that makes sense - fair point. I guess there's a taste element to it, but I happen to love harsh light (reminds me of summer), and for this image in particular, chose it deliberately. Also to be consistent with other similar images. -- Thennicke (talk) 12:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
