Oppose Nice photo, but the right crop close to the bottom is cut, so for me no FP --Michielverbeek (talk) 18:22, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Michiel makes a good point, but without even considering that, as I said in the nomination of your other photo of this building, this composition doesn't work for me, either, because the building has unbalanced movement, especially to the right. An accurate portrayal of a building that is its own unbalanced composition could be a useful VI, but that doesn't make it an FP to me, unless there's something complementing it in order to produce a composition that satisfies me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support I promised I'd vote for it on the nomination of the other photo of the building, so here goes. The criticisms are valid, but I think we should accept that any view of this building necessarily has trade-offs in terms of what is included and excluded in the frame; it's difficult not to have a tight crop somewhere. Overall this is a very good view of the architecture and more aesthetic than the last nom. Cmao20 (talk) 21:31, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment FWIW there is no crop that would make the bottom-right corner visible, as it extends below where I am and is partially obscured by another part of the building (this photo is taken up by the bottom of the yellow seen here, facing the other way, so it goes down further and the rounded chrome part is in the way). The building in general is chaotic, and the back of it even more-so, with multiple levels, parts, styles, etc. with not a great deal of room to take a picture from most angles. Personally, I think the tradeoff works, but I appreciate it may not be for everyone. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:10, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support for me this picture perfectly transports the alien and twisted look, the building was constructed for, the complete negation of the right angle. And being situated narrowly between two completely different buildings underlines the conflict. I think together with the bright metallic brilliance this image represents a typical Gehry construction. --PtrQs (talk) 01:15, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Quality is good and the subject is wowing but I'm not sure whether this was the best angle/crop on both sides Poco a poco (talk) 11:50, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Tight crop. Let the poor thing breathe! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:07, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
