  •   Info Råsunda Stadium (host of the 1958 world cup final) and in the background the new Friends Arena (inaugurated in October 2012). Råsunda was Swedish national football stadium 1937-2012. It was a unique photo opportunity just before the demolition of Råsunda started. Created, uploaded and nominated by -- Arild Vågen (talk) 15:11, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Weak oppose To me it was not obvious what was the subject of the picture, and even after reading the description I still couldn't say without doubts which building we are talking about. I guess that from that location 70 mm was not enough to stand out the subject. Further I am not sure why you placed it that low and so far to the left, I'd centered it a bit more. Sharpness is good but not outstanding and both sides are leaning out a bit. I imagine that the reason for the chosen shutter speed, low DoF and resulting composition is that you had to be quick (commercial flight?), and I have to say that under that condition the shot is really good but still not a FP to me, sorry.

As stated in both the description here and on the file page, the image captures both the old national stadium and its replacement (Friends arena) in the same image. I cant at all understand why a different focal length had made a difference, the distance between the stadiums are over one kilometer. For once I dont think your comment make any sence, I can of course center the two stadiums by a further crop but it will just make the both arenas a smaller part of the images and make it harder for you see "which building we are talking about " (what's the point of that?) I can not see any better way to include both stadiums in the same picture, I can not see any photographic tricks that make the stadiums to "stand out" better.
With all due respect Diego, I don't think you take into enough account the image qualities. The image has historical value (the only free aerial image showing both venues), Råsunda is a historic arena (one of the few that has hosted the world cup final in soccer for both men and women), the quality is not bad compared to other aerial FP (especially considering that it covers several square kilometers!), picture could only be taken from a chartered helicopter (if you were lucky and got permission to fly as close to Bromma Airport, and the stadium is demolished today).--ArildV (talk) 19:06, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Arild, I got it wrong. I looks that I didn't read the description carefully and came to the conclusion that the subject was only the stadium in the bottom left corner. Therefore my judge was based on a wrong premise, I take my oppose back and leave it just as a comment. Poco2 13:51, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
