Millennium Dome[edit]

The O2, formerly the Millennium Dome, seen from the River Thames.
Alternative edit.
Reason
A fortuitous shot of this monster. The Dome is highlighted by lateral sunlight while contrasting nicely against the cloudy sky. It's among the "most interesting" free-license architecture images on Flickr and certainly the most encyclopedic view.

  • Support Sharpness lacks, but this is one of those pictures that has enough going for it in terms of composition that there's an acceptable tradeoff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harmil (talkcontribs)
  • Support Agreed- the composition is great, as is the encyclopedic value. I'm sure the noise could be digitally removed. Jellocube27 23:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I already did some noise reduction, although other editors might have better tools for it. There is always a tradeoff between sharpness and low noise, so I usually try to hit the middle ground. On sharpness, it's not Diliff quality but I think it's pretty sharp for a picture taken from half a mile away. The thumbnails came out pretty blurry though. ~ trialsanderrors 02:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose. I'm not too thrilled by the compo, too much dead space. The subject is fairly small and yet rather blurry.. --Dschwen 21:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
