Reason
A fortuitous shot of this monster. The Dome is highlighted by lateral sunlight while contrasting nicely against the cloudy sky. It's among the "most interesting" free-license architecture images on Flickr and certainly the most encyclopedic view.

  • Support Sharpness lacks, but this is one of those pictures that has enough going for it in terms of composition that there's an acceptable tradeoff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harmil (talk • contribs)
  • Support Agreed- the composition is great, as is the encyclopedic value. I'm sure the noise could be digitally removed. Jellocube27 23:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
    • I already did some noise reduction, although other editors might have better tools for it. There is always a tradeoff between sharpness and low noise, so I usually try to hit the middle ground. On sharpness, it's not Diliff quality but I think it's pretty sharp for a picture taken from half a mile away. The thumbnails came out pretty blurry though. ~ trialsanderrors 02:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose. I'm not too thrilled by the compo, too much dead space. The subject is fairly small and yet rather blurry.. --Dschwen 21:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
