- The left edge of the facade is clipped off as a result of correcting the distortion and cropping the originally uploaded photo. :( Madcoverboy (talk) 01:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The image is tilted slightly (look at the steps- they're not quite straight). Spencer^T♦^C 14:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Q. Does the photograph show the entire front of the building, or does it chop off both ends? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 23:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- It's a complex of buildings this entrance being the most famous and iconic. My earlier comment was regarding the lack of perfect symmetry owing to cropping. The existing images don't have the same resolution or detail as the nominated image. Madcoverboy (talk) 23:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I do not like the distance this was taken from. Being so close, I can no longer see the shape of the dome on top. I advise taking it from further away, and zooming in so that the top of the dome is visible. Omnibus (talk) 07:37, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose It's a great photograph, but I agree with Omnibus that it could have been taken from an angle that reveals more of the building, including the dome.-- mcshadypl ^T ^C 18:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose unfortunately, since I think it's a quality architectural photograph, but the dome which is a key element of the building is hardly recognisable at this angle. —Krm500 ^{(Communicate!)} 01:52, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Krm500. Cacophony (talk) 01:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
