National Assembly of Bulgaria[edit]

Useful encyclopedic shot, can't really see much wrong with it. There's some decent detail and, behold, no cars in the foreground (which is hard to capture in daylight even on a Sunday afternoon).

Is the guy to the right distracting? I think he adds a kind of scale to the photo.
Also, I'd like to know whether the shadow cast over the building is an issue.
A frontal shot without the domes of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral seen in the background is not possible, if that can be perceived as a problem.

Answering your questions in turn: the guy isn't a problem, generally one or two people can be beneficial as you say; the shadow is a big problem, see comment on previous nomination; although you may find reviewers forgiving about background buildings etc they're never a plus point, and unless your image is exceptional in other respects that sort of minor issue can tip the balance away from FP promotion. There's some distortion making the building appear curved, which I'd suggest was the most important issue after lighting. mikaul^talk 22:58, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
