Not sure about this, it really shows the cafe rather than the (unimpressive IMNSHO) sky garden. Admittedly it is hard to capture the full effect unless you can hover 20 feet off the balcony; please don't try to do this unless you have the super power of flight, a jetpack, or a really bouncy trampoline.

A really bouncy one. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:31, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The more I look at it the less I like as an illustration of the subject; the garden simply isn't the focus of this image; if it was meant to show the cafe in the sky garden it would be a winner; and it would be even better if there was a man with a stick, bobble hat and a red and white striped jersey in there somewhere.

Neutral for now At the moment, the information in the article about the sky garden doesn't persuade me that the garden is very notable, and therefore I question the EV of this image. The image is more appropriate as a Commons FP, unless additional documentation about the notability of the garden is provided. --Pine^✉ 19:09, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Let's call it the view from the Sky garden, then. I think it is just a matter of definition. The notability of the garden is rather high, see here too, very diffcult to make a garden work like this. It is not open like the Kensington Roof Gardens, but it is an indoor garden, that adds to the difficulty, you know. And the architect, Rafael Viñoly is well known, and probably could be used in the roof garden article too, good EV, I say. Added it, by the way. Probably could be used in Rafael Viñoly as well. And I think I spotted Armbrust in the picture, in a blue jacket, with the door, so it has to be sharp too. Hafspajen (talk) 22:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with Hafs; there's definitely enough out there for a whole section on the garden, if not a whole article. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:11, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is not a good sample of picture to introduce a roof garden as here [1] and there [2] are done. Alborzagros (talk) 06:28, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Except it doesn't introduce "roof garden". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:16, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's a really good photo. --Tremonist (talk) 15:28, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
