• Weak oppose. I really like the image in terms of composition, lighting, etc, but at full size it's really quite soft for an architecture photo of that resolution, and there's also a fair bit of artifacting in the sky (which I'd probably let slip otherwise). Metadata is missing, but I can only guess either focus somehow totally missed, or it's a lowish quality camera. --jjron (talk) 11:48, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
