  • Oppose tilt and perspective distortion. It's a difficult building to get a clear shot of but I think for enc this building is better captured from a different angle and not from its own street level as per example. (The most complete top to bottom image I have seen is with a 600mm from Treasure Island and that requires a very clear day). Mfield (talk) 19:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose both, not sharp enough to be FP. Second one could probably use a tighter crop and less distracting building in the left foreground. First one is tilted and would have to be retaken without the shadow on the pyramid. gren グレン 20:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You actually don't need to oppose the second, it's not an FP nom and is labelled not for voting, it was just an example to show what the building actually looks like without the distortion and to show how difficult it it so get a clear shot. Mfield (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I actually did that because I started thinking maybe the second one was close to FP for a while... well, at least I liked it better than the first one so I think that threw me off :) --gren グレン 20:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see what the issue with the tilt is... looks minor to me and I wouldn't even consider it an issue, just part of the viewing angle. This picture was taken from the top deck of a moving bus as it passed crossroads perpendicular to the street shot down. It is a very difficult building to get a photo showing the structure top to bottom. --Cabe6403 (TalkSign!) 23:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
