  •   Info The Reichstag building in Berlin at night with a Christmas tree in front of it. Left of the Reichstag, the International Trade Centre (Friedrichstrasse) and the television tower (Alexanderplatz) can be seen. The bright thing above the television tower is the moon. The cupola of the Reichstag building was designed by Norman Foster. All by me. -- Code (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Support - I find the composition good enough to feature. I predict that someone will object to the inclusion of the poles in the right foreground, but I not only find it fine to include them but value them as helping my eyes to move laterally to the left. One of my favorite living painters, Stanley Lewis, likes to paint things like fences and construction materials and makes beautiful compositions with them. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, I know what you mean. First I thought I should clone the poles out but on the other hand - well, they really exist. I made some other pictures from different perspectives but this one was the best, even with the poles. But of course I could understand if someone would object them. --Code (talk) 08:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment - Thanks for pinging me. I much prefer the original version. This one has a lot of what seems to me to be empty dark space that isn't doing anything. If you really want to get rid of the poles and crop the file differently, I suggest you crop it much closer to the Reichstag building, so that there's much less dark grass and such. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:15, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
for me this version is OK --Pudelek (talk) 09:00, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment Thanks for pinging me.- I prefer the first version of the December 23, 2015 which is more focused. Both version are of good quality--Pierre André (talk) 09:26, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment I would crop to a panorama style - less foreground, less sky. Charles (talk) 10:10, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment I'm fine with both versions, but maybe you should follow Charles' advice and crop to a panorama --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:49, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer the second. --Medium69 You wanted talk to me? 11:21, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll support if you take out half the foreground of the new version. Charles (talk) 22:52, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   CommentThank you, Code. At full page resolution, I definitely prefer the original version because it has details that help me move my eye around the picture plane, whereas the newest version lacks the poles and cuts off some of the plants, and I even like the somewhat glary stuff to the right of the building for that purpose. To me, the original is much more interesting, and I will not vote for the new version to be featured. Have a great New Year, everyone! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:44, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
