- Question - Is it possible to take this in a way that the shadow from that nearby building doesn't dominate lower right frame? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:55, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- Honestly, it has been a while since I have been there last, and I am not sure. However I do remember that the place before the front side is not so big, and it was a challenge to get a picture with the whole building. And I had to heavily correct the perspective.

- (Starts advertising photostitching). Hmm... weak support - It's useful, but that shadow (and the cut off person in the lower left) are distracting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:33, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- I checked on Google Maps, and no, it is not possible to get this without a shadow. If taken at noon, there will be less shadow, but the light will be harsh, so not good. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:48, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose the viewpoint chosen is distractingly off-center (door not aligned in the middle of the columns), not off-center enough to show more of the ensemble, or the full frame and top to the doorway on one side, or to reveal more depth to the buildings, but just enough to be annoying (and failing as an architecture photo).
