Support Nicely framed photo (between the two lampposts) that shows the grandiose architecture of the entrance very well. At first the distorted statues in the top corners disturbed me but it's always the case when photographing architecture that you can only stand so far back and you have to make compromises to get everything in the frame, overall that's OK for me.

Support I also hesitated because I was unsure about the distortions. But Cmao20 has explained it clearly, thank you. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support I love how T meltzer makes good use of the wide angle and how the converging lines turns an otherwise simple picture into a great one (in my view of course). - Benh (talk) 08:51, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Great shot, but there are some subtleties that make it look somewaht awkward to me. 1) The perspective has been over-corrected to the point that verticals are actually leaning out at the edges of the frame. That is amplified by all those clues in the image that tell me that I'm actually close to the building looking upwards (e.g. I can see the undersides of the platforms the statues stand on), suggesting that those verticals should actually converge at least a little bit towards the top for them to be credible. Just to be clear: I'm OK with some things in the corners being somewhat distorted (that is impossible to avoid here) – it is the way how they are distorted that does not work for me. 2) The textures of surfaces look soft, while high-contrast edges are close to being over-sharpened. --El Grafo (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Well composed image. But in my point of view the effect of very heavy perspective correction speaks against FP. --August Geyler (talk) 20:04, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support The issues noted by El Grafo can be corrected, I think, and do not ruin the image too much for me. Daniel Case (talk) 17:20, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Per August and I don't see a factor compensating that (an extraordinary subject or special lighting), sorry, Poco a poco (talk) 19:16, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per El Grafo. --Yann (talk) 19:33, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
