 * Comment there are still a few dust specs that need removing just above the right hand side of the building, should be an easy fix. I'd support after those are also fixed. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It will take me a few hours until I can get to that. This computer has no grafx. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 12:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I won't have time. Sorry. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 19:17, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose building is clipped on left :( Mfield (talk) 15:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Beautifully composed. The current version is a little overprocessed.  Would it be possible to do a new denoising on the original photograph?  Durova Charge! 16:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I suspect your assessment of overprocessing would also include this version? I haven't done any work on this image, nor am I aware of a less processed version than the latter. It seems that you have more experience in obtaining such things. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 17:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was comparing the nominated version to that unedited version. The latter is a little on the noisy side, and it looks to my eye that the edit is slightly more aggressive than ideal.  Notice the poster boxes and glass doors--one looks a little in need of denoising, the other so smooth it resembles a render.  Durova Charge! 01:32, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

 * There are probably some other editors here who have more experience than I have with noise reduction on modern digital photography. I can do it, but it takes me a while to execute the right tweaks.  If no one else steps forward in a couple of days, tug at my sleeve and I'll give it a try.

 * Support edit 2. Thanks. :)  Durova Charge! 17:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * oppose - looks vignetted, looks tilted, and cut off at left de Bivort 18:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Poor crop and overprocessing. A bit too many compression artifacts. If you have an original, I might reconsider. – LATICS   talk  21:00, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Check three a few lines up. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 21:28, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * support - Seems nice enough. Agree with Durova, though. -- Meld    shal   21:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per LHS cropping issues and sky is over processed --Fir0002 11:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Pounds of wow! Much more important than any tiny technical flaws (although by all means fix any that can be fixed). Fg2 (talk) 12:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Per Durova's comments above, here's a less aggressive NR edit (Edit2). If I missed anything let me know and i'll fix and upload over. I am still not supporting though per my original vote. Mfield (talk) 03:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 *  Oppose Support edit 2 Until the dust spots in the sky for both are cloned out. Looks good now. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooops sorry - should have got them all now. Mfield (talk) 20:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Support edit 2. Looks good after brief review. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 12:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
