Solipsist took this picture of the Great Court at the British Museum. It is used in that article and I think it is an excellent picture of a striking piece of architecture and engineering.

  • Nominate and support. - the wub "?!" RFR - a good idea? 14:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. It's very clear and it illustrates the geometry of the structure well. The roof part is almost like as if it came out of a maths program! enochlau (talk) 15:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Been there, picture does a great job conveying the subject. --Dschwen 15:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
original or first edit. Edit2 has a distinct purple tint. Edit1 might be a tad too warm though.--Dschwen 12:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Support, any version. Nice, sharp shot. My only gripe: The mirror-image lettering at lower left. Yes, I know it's a transparent sign seen from the back, but it still detracts... --Janke | Talk 19:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. If there was an article on geometric vibrance, this could probably go there. :) — 0918BRIAN • 2006-01-17 22:24
  • Neutral Dull coloration. Maybe raise contrast and saturation / darken it a bit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumguy8800 (talk • contribs)
  • I too made a quick edited version (the 3rd version). — 0918BRIAN • 2006-01-18 03:24
  • Support any version. Good framing and interesting subject/angle. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 03:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Edit2 only. — Pixel8 06:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I think this is a particularly interesting picture. Image 2, although image one isn't that bad either. --Ali K 09:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • ( + ) Support Original and edit 2. Fantastic photo, I love the geometric properties. --Fir0002 04:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Support any version, although I feel that edit number 2 is a little too blue. Raven4x4x 07:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I'm sure that a panoramic view of the interior would be more visually appealing and representative of the space. - Hahnchen 06:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
