- Oppose - a bit dark and lacks contrast. Also the composition doesn't show the building very well. Laurent (talk) 03:21, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose per Laurent. J Milburn (talk) 11:05, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose per Laurent... I assume by the colour of the building and the reflection of the sun in the windows that this was taken at either sunrise or sunset - suggest maybe reshooting at a different time of day so the sun is at full brightness and we get more natural colours... Plus composition wise is there an elevated position available for this building to show the size of it better? If not then composition is as good as it's going to get for me... gazhiley.co.uk 12:11, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed, this was taken very close to sunset. In fact, this image was taken about 10 minutes later. I'm pretty certain that this is the best possible angle to shoot this building. Stepping back gets a trash can in the way, there's no elevation anywhere near, the rest of the building (to the right) is pretty nondescript anyway. Jujutacular talk 20:54, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough, then composition wise this is the best we are going to get until proven otherwise... Just a shame about the time of day... gazhiley.co.uk 22:54, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

- Support I disagree that this having been taken at sunset is a bad thing. I think it adds a little spice to our architectural collection, which features too few examples taken at this time of day. upstateNYer 20:40, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe, but it doesn't help bring out the details and softens the focus... But each to their own... gazhiley.co.uk 00:03, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Support - The sunset provides an atmosphere that I think is appropriate for this building. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:40, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
