- Support Not sure quite what the benefit is of Sca's comment. Yes it is dark. The room is dark. Anyway, looks good to me, excellent detail, and darkness is representative of the lighting level in the hall, on the basis of the heavy focussed lights on the exhibits, but not on the main floor itself... gazhiley 16:45, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- Being dark makes detail less accessible to the casual viewer of the Main Page, of whom there are millions every day. This isn't a technical comment – understand it's a dark scene. Sca (talk) 15:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes I understand what you meant Sca, but not what the benefit of adding that comment is? What is the intended result of leaving a single word comment? And if there was no intended result then may I ask why you felt the need to do so? I just find it odd personally... gazhiley 16:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Well, we all have our personal foibles, don't we? But in this case, IMO, the photo doesn't fully meet criteria Nos. 1 or 3 due to the darkness of the subject. Sca (talk)

- It wasn't a comment on you personally Sca, just saying the comment itself with any follow up or explanation was odd. Not you. The comment. Your further explaination makes more sense now, as I see that your "Dark" comment was saying that that is a bad thing - not just a random comment stating a fact... Thank you for explaining futher... gazhiley 11:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose It appears to be tilted to the left and underexposed between 1/3 and 2/3 EV. Also vertical center of the hall isn't in a center of the frame. SkywalkerPL (talk) 17:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC) +
- The exhibition being off to the left justifies the choice of centre though. I'm not sure it's underexposed - I think that any increase in exposure would blow the brightly-lit exhibit. Support Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:23, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
