- Reason
- Good EV. The Capitole (French for "capitol") is the heart of the municipal administration of the French city of Toulouse, the town's hôtel de ville. The town hall was supposedly located on the spot where St. Saturninus was martyred. The bishop was said to have been tied to the legs of a bull, which was driven down the steps of the town's capitol, causing his head to be dashed open.

- Comment – It's a pretty night shot of the bldg., but I'm uncomfortable with the amount of foreground in this composition. Sca (talk) 15:53, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, the foreground has excellent EV, because its shaped as an Occitan cross. The main focus is the square, however. So I'd say a glimpse into a part of the cross is actually a bonus. Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
