  • Thanks a bunch for the nomination, but This is actually a small crop from a three segment exposure-blended panorama of the entire building. I uploaded it because I was not quite happy yet with the full image, and wanted to provide a replacement for the super tiny gif that was used in its place. I'll upload the full image soon, but I fear it won't be quite up to the FPC bar either (and this crop does not have a snowball's chance in my opinion). --Dschwen 03:18, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Nice picture, Dschwen. Fine work. And I think you are correct; a crop of the top of the building has less EV. Personally, I’m tending lately to place increasing emphasis on whether a picture is “eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article.” Our FP criteria isn’t *and* EV; it can be one or the other. Even with that in mind, this picture might be a little weak on the “eye-catching” bit because it lacks color and is a fragment of a building. Clearly good work though.

  • Reluctant Oppose per Dschwen - I will look forward to the full version though as it has potential in my eyes, just not when it's just part of the building... Gazhiley (talk) 10:20, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Noise around the top of the pictire is overwhelming. The fact that it's a crop of a building where a full shot/panoramic is easily possible is another negative. As the creator himself states this hasn't got a chance. JFitch (talk) 10:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Close per Dschwen. — raekyT 14:47, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
