John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Stitched[edit]

Original - The JFK Library in Dorchester, MA. Taken at dusk.
Edit 1 by Fir0002
Edit 2 by mikaultalk
Reason
A really pretty image I think. I was waiting outside for the right light but the interior lights weren't coming on, so I went in to complain and the director was finishing his coffee before turning on the lights inside. I might have also gotten a good one of the interior atrium and if that turns out good I'll upload it. Merry Christmas.

  • Support original, Oppose Edit 1, good job. Good light, high technical quality, encyclopaedic. The edit doesn't show the entire building, which is necessary to be as encyclopaedic as possible. --Aqwis (talkcontributions) 14:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support It's a nice picture, the sky looks good, and I must agree, it does have a high technical quality. S♦s♦e♦b♦a♦l♦l♦o♦s (Merry Christmas!) 17:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Original Pretty colours but the composition isn't particularly good - too much carpark and sky and not enough of the actual library. The crop I posted is better, IMO, but is a bit awkward still; hence weak support edit 1 --Fir0002 23:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • You may be interested that the cement on the sides of the atrium building is actually part of the library but if you prefer your crop thats your right.-Fcb981(talk:contribs) 23:14, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Either, prefer Edit 1 Encyclopedic and very interesting. The architecture is amazing. --Sharkface217 06:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Edit 2, Oppose Edit 1. Fir0002's edit just cuts off too much of the building's architecture to be enc. for me. --Malachirality (talk) 17:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support edit 2 Very nice light & exposure but sky-heavy composition was killing it. The tight crop was nice but for enc value I agree we need to show the whole building. Logical conclusion: crop to a pano format. I've also tweaked the perspective a little to correct some distortion that was taking the main "spire" off vertical. --mikaultalk 18:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
