Palace of Westminster
One of the more famous views of London. Perhaps better known as the 'Houses of Parliament' but they are actually inside the Palace. Illustrates Palace of Westminster. -- Solipsist 19:21, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Support. Great shot of a classic view - PaulLomax 01:20, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Support. Good exposure and a classic composition. The use of high-speed film (high ISO) has introduced noise, which would be recoverable in The GIMP (mask out the sky and blur it) or even better, a program such as NeatImage. -- dpol 05:13, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I'll do it, if I can get the original image (it is probably of a higher resolution than the current version). &mdash; David Remahl 10:24, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment. As the sky seems to be troubling people, I'll probably have a go at smoothing it. -- Solipsist 15:10, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: The Sky is fine, it's to be expected for a high ISO image. PPGMD 17:38, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: while a grainy sky is indeed to be expected from a high ISO image, I don't see why we should leave it that way. I post-process all my images extensively, as do professionals.
 * It depends. If there is grain visible in the rest of the image, it can look odd if the sky is too smooth. In this case, the problem was mostly a doubling of jpg artifacts following a minor retouch on the original upload. I hadn't noticed the increase in noise. -- Solipsist 19:21, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Support --Darkone 13:25, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC), but it needs some work to reduce the noise.
