Support- Looks good to me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:08, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose High EV, but soft focus on top, uninteresting light and too much clutter in the background for my taste. -- Slaunger (talk) 06:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Is this alt any better? Blorgy555 (talk) 14:11, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ I agree with Slaunger about the focus issue at the top - almost blurred. I can't see what we'd ever do about the background tho? It is what it is... gazhiley 07:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Alt and strike previous vote - Alt is better quality, less distracting background... Nice... gazhiley 18:48, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Alt appears to be leaning backwards. Is that real, or a trick of perspective? 81.132.196.225 (talk) 01:01, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only the alt has enough support for promotion. Also added the image to Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture instead. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 03:30, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
