IIT Machinery Hall

Original - Illinois Institute of Technology's Machinery Hall is one of two buildings on the main campus that has been designated as a Chicago Landmark.

Reshoot - reshot with direct sunlight.

Reason

This is a high EV image in its primary use. The lighting was a problem at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/IIT Machinery Hall so I withdrew the nom and brought it here.

• Comment Certainly good quality, but I find the lighting problematic as the main facade is in shadow. There seems to be no reason why this cannot be re-taken in better lighting. --Elekhh (talk) 13:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Alt is better in that the main facade is lit, although an afternoon image would be even better with the side facade in slight shadow to better emphasise the architecture. However, upon further thought, as the image is supposed to illustrate more than just the buildig (campus, neighbourhood), any broader framing would increase EV. Importantly, the Main Building, located across the street to the south is very similar and the two appear to form a sort of a gateway - thus this image is deceiving in showing the Machinery Hall in isolation. --Elekhh (talk) 09:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
