Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hancock tower 2006.jpg

"A photo I took of the Hancock Tower on a recent trip to Chicago in September 2006."

Reason: Great picture of an awesome building . . . maybe a little cropping on the bottom to take the lamp out, but other than that it looks gorgeous. I also feel the water tower in the foreground provides an appropriate contrast between classical and modern architecture, both of which are excellent examples.

Oppose per WP:WIAFP example #2, chromatic abberation, tilted verticals etc. --antilived^{T | C | G} 05:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, I fail to see where the subject has been "cut off", unless you're referring to the bottom, which really isn't entirely relevant. --Soakologist 06:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A very mundane shot. The building is still there (I hope ;-), so it would be easy to get a new shot, with different lighting and composition - i.e. a little "wow", which this shot lacks. --Janke | Talk 07:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A beautiful building, but it feels like anyone could snap this photo from the sidewalk. I concur with previous editors -- there is simply too little "wow" here for an FP. --Asiir 13:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, unfortunately, per all above. Living in the middle of Boston, MA, I know [and hate] how difficult it is to get a decent shot of a building like this. With a low POV, and buildings all around, it's a really difficult thing to do. tiZom_(2¢) 23:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
