Original - A view of the rear of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth Harbour

Reason: It presents the subject from an irregular perspective. The use of colour is also interesting, as the colour of the sky reflects off the structure.

Sorry I have to oppose due to the poor colours (or should I say, colour). Also, a really minor point, but the top of the tower is just too close to the top of the frame. Would it be possible to retake this photo in lighting conditions that give it a bit more contrast?? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 12:48, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also it's only part of a gallery - not so much encyclopedic value there. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 12:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly could be. I liked the way the colour of the sky reflected off the material of the structure but as you say, perhaps there is too much of the one colour here. Harrison49 (talk) 14:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Framing issues as well. My experence with the Spinnaker Tower is that pictures of it tend to turn out almost perfect.©Geni 00:46, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You'll notice the lack of good lighting caused a bit of noise as well. Also, make sure to compress images at a fairly high-quality setting, there are a few bits of compression artifacts in the image. I'm not sure about the surroundings of the tower, but if it is at all possible to get more of it in the frame (the bottom of the tower), that would be beneficial. Good work overall, hope you will re-take. Jujutacular ^talk 12:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The interesting framing and blue white balance are not the best for EV. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:26, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments. Would it be worth closing this nomination early? Harrison49 (talk) 23:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
