 * Oppose - Blown highlights from windows, escalator in the middle of the image is distracting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:31, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I like the escalator, and am not really worried about the blown highlights - they're mostly unavoidable in an image like this, where it's a preview tour, and so you only get one chance to photograph the library pristine and empty.... But I question whether pristine and empty is actually desireable in a building intended to be a public space. A few people in the image and it would feel more natural, so I'd rather see another try.

 * Oppose - Poor lighting leading to overexposure and colour temperature issues. Overall composition isn't great either. JFitch   (talk)  16:30, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. In my opinion the composition is visually interesting and the lighting also adds to the appeal of the picture. 86.160.215.210 (talk) 19:25, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Support, both showing the atmosphere and architecture of the place, and almost abstract art, - closer to the subject of a library than the outside view that graced the Main page for several days. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:29, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
