Anne Frank House, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

**Original** - The Anne Frank House (left) together with the house the Anne Frank Stichting originally bought to turn into the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands at dusk.

Reason: A photograph with a high EV and of good quality. I noticed Wikipedia didn't had one good photograph of one of the most famous tourist attractions in Amsterdam and a site of importance. So I also took a picture especially for Wikipedia. There are some branches in front of the buildings, but they are still mostly in sight.

Weak oppose sorry but the trees take away too much of the photo for me --Thanks, Hadseys 10:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for the trees, and also blown highlights around the cornice molding at the top. Is a closer-up shot in front of the trees possible? Not sure how bad the perspective distortion would be for a three-story house. Or, see how it looks when the leaves fall off. Fletcher (talk) 14:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The blown highlights (only minor) are due to the illumination and not my fault. As for the trees, the only possibility is to wait until December, since by then all the leaves will be gone, but you will still be stuck with the branches. No, a closer-up shot is not a possibility, there is just no room to capture the whole building in a frame and still have a nice composition. I practically had to stand on my head to get this picture, due to housing boats, bicycles, etc. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 15:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose not because of the trees, but because of the low lighting at the bottom. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 22:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose lighting and converging verticals. Looking at and knowing the location I doubt it would be possible to take a compelling enough image of this subject to make an FP though. Mfield (talk) 01:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It might be possible if done in winter - the trees would lack leaves, improving composition and lighting. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 03:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The trees obstruct the view.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 14:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In addition, there's poor sharpness and the trees are blurry. Spencer^T♦^C 00:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The buildings themselves are pretty darn sharp..--Massimo Catarinella (talk) 12:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I mean in the roofline of the building, in the trees and on the lower part of the street. It's nice in the middle of the building. Spencer^T♦^C 12:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
