 * Oh, that's nice. It's really hard to take a picture of a skyscraper and get a proper idea of its sheer bulk, and this really achieves that. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 21:22, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support either version (although the edited version loses the highlighting around the top edge, which I liked). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 15:44, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * To become one of the best pictures on Wikipedia. Phoenix2 22:39, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, grainy issue was cleared up in the edited version. -- Phoenix 00:08, 18 July 2005
 * Looks like it's taken straight out of a sci-fi movie... unreal. Enochlau 05:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The hi-res picture is very grainy. Phil s 10:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That is indeed true. Perhaps run it over with a blur. Enochlau 11:00, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Done, hope you like it --Fir0002 08:50, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support - Very nice. Sango  123  18:14, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Question - What are the American laws on pictures of buildings? In Icelandic law, which is all I know, a picture which has a building (or a sculpture) as its main content can be hampered by the architect's copyright. Is there something similar over there? In any case the picture is amazing. - Haukurth 01:36, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This came up at a conference I was at, and I believe it can be an issue, but only if money is made off of it. This would be a strong candidate for 'fair use', in my non-professional opinion. --DNicholls 02:30, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

+20 / -0 preference for the edited version, but I have now overloaded that on the Commons original since they are otherwise similar -- Solipsist 20:42, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Edited version. Very striking. Balster neb 17:30, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
