I think this is a high quality photo of Puerta de Alcalá, one of the main tourist attractions and historical sites in Madrid, Spain, and also a fine example of Spanish architecture; this photo appears on the Madrid and Puerta de Alcalá pages, and it was taken and uploaded by E.Goergen in July 2006.

      • Brian, just so you ought to know, I have been editing Wikipedia for a LONG time. You cannot judge from my edits. I did a lot of work under just my IP, and I had a user name a long time ago, however, I forgot the password. I recently picked up three years later, and I just recently created an account. So stop judging me! 10 edits or 10000 edits, my opinion is valid. I also had two successful FP's on the old account.Viva La Vie Boheme 21:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment The image definitely looks like it could use some additional resolution. That said, I like the original image better than the edit for the building, since the details look less washed out. The edit 1 has a much more realistic (ie, normally-saturated) sky, though. --Marumari 14:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Just too small, nice otherwise. HighInBC 16:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I do no think that this photo adds significantly to its accompanying article. The existing image on the article is aesthetically better as well.
