  • Question How much of the left and right facade is cut off with this crop? Only asking as I can't see any other pictures to indicate whether a picture from further back would be better, as this picture seems to give the impression there is more building to the left and right. gazhiley 11:58, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • gazhiley –I was already half-way down a flight of stairs, so I couldn’t go any further back. I was shooting with a 55mm lens on a medium format digit camera (the smallest I had taken with me to avoid possible distortion). This should give you an idea of the overall structure. --Godot13 (talk) 18:35, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks Godot13 - if it's possible to get a shot of the whole thing (as the link you provided shows) then I think for now I can't support. But I'll have a think on. Excellent picture otherwise though. gazhiley 11:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Weak Support I really like this picture, but the crop puts me off slightly. Not enough to not support however. gazhiley 12:35, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, though I really hope Godot picks up panoramic stitching in the future (would have helped greatly here) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:53, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Godot, you still have the same slightly purple tinted sky problem in this image... Strangely it seems purple on the left and not the right though. I think you might need to calibrate your screen. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:57, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • ...Sigh... I see it faintly on the lower left of the sky.--Godot13 (talk) 00:45, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's not nearly as prominent as in some of your other images, to be fair. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it if your images didn't have a history of it. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 00:55, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
