  • Comment seems to be a valuable image, but I can't help but think the perspective is rather distracting - the two front walls are supposed to be in line, I assume (don't know what the terminology is for that sort of distortion). Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:55, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd be interested to see what this would look like taken with a single frame (no stitching) and a tilt-shift lens, but given the design of the building (the extreme elongation of the wings) it seems hard to avoid some kind of noticeable perspective distortion. Even a painter struggled with that issue. Chick Bowen 03:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support good EV for the article, sharp image, and I find the perspective issue to be more interesting than problematic. Pine(talk) 04:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, as I expect such an image of a huge building to be of higher resolution; this seems to be a stitched panorama, so probably downsized. It needs an English file description as well.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The angle is a little too wide (try taking a few steps back), and there is not enough breathing room on the sides. -- King of ♠ 00:30, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
