Montreal City Hall

 * Reason:I had been meaning to nominate this image ever since I took it almost two years ago. Its a high resolution image of a beautiful building.
 * Proposed caption:The 5 storey Montreal City Hall (Hôtel de Ville) is the work of architects Henri-Maurice Perrault and Alexander Cowper Hutchison, built between 1872 and 1878. Its architecture is in the Second Empire style, also known as Napoléon III-style.

Support Nice shot - the lighting is excellent as is the IQ --Fir0002 02:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. I always thought this was already featured, but now I see it is just featured in Commons.  At any rate, I love it.  The colors are brilliant and intriguing.  The angle is different, but it works (and if I recall correctly, there's a building off-center in front of this building that would inhibit a straight-on shot).  You've got my support.  tiZom(2¢)  22:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, the colors are magnificent. The tree branch sticking out of the left edge of the shot is a bit distracting, but other wise this is a really good shot. *Cremepuff  222*  01:16, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Per above. A fine addition to our architectural FPs, most of which are also Diliff's.--HereToHelp 01:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Per nom, I like it. --Cody Pope 11:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support A difficult image to fault. The crop on the left seems a bit tight (which is the opposite of what Cremepuff222 has said above, who finds the branch distracting), but otherwise excellent. —Pengo 13:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support I love it. – sgeureka t•c 14:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. A high quality and just generally amazing picture. Nautica Shad e  s  16:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - An excelent image, the only thing i dont like is the angle.. I just wish you could see a little bit more of the front --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  16:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Very nice colors, detail, exposure, contrast, etc. --Peter 20:16, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, and I have no problem with the tree branch, it works as a "frame" when zoomed out (although it does look like lightning at first glance). --Dhartung | Talk 09:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Why not? My only quibbles are whether that bit of cutoff building on the left is part of this building, or is it the building next door, and I'm not a big fan of those little bits of intruding tree branches. Stunning detail. --jjron 13:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Neutral Amazing picture --Central Powers 21:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * User has only 6 edits - four of which are on FPC the other two on his userpage --Fir0002 22:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Is that voting based on personal prejudice, or am I imagining things!? ;-) Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 09:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No it's still an amazing picture, especially the colors. What attracts my attention (after more than 20 times watching to it ;) is that i have the feeling that the building is toppling to the right side, maybe caused by a wideangle effect. This picture shows a building in aprox. the same size, (which is not that amazing as yours but still a good one) has not this effect or slight. Here i have the feeling its toppling a bit to the left. Where is that effect coming from? --Central Powers 11:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC) 11:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * lol I think the fact you initially said that it was tilting to the right and finished by saying it's toppling to the left kind of speaks for itself ;) - but no matter --Fir0002 11:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes tilting should the correct synonym, i meant the 2nd picture is tilting to the left. Excuse my bad english, but its even better than your german i think ;) --Central Powers 11:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Support Nice shot. Cat-five - talk 17:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
