The Hemispheric of Valencia, Spain


Self-nomination, now used to illustrate Valencia, Spain. It surprised me to see that there were barely any images of this magnificent monument by Santiago Calatrava, so I uploaded this self taken one.

 * Nominate and support. -- Shauri 17:24, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded an auto-leveled, auto-colored version, with some despeckling in the sky. -- BRIAN 0918   18:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your nice edit, Brian, I've even swapped the one used in Valencia with the newer version. *Ahem*, does that mean you support either of them? Thx! :) -- Shauri 18:19, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Image requires a rotate of about 4 degrees, as in version 3. Support rotated image. Denni &#9775; 23:40, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
 * Support version 3. -- BRIAN 0918  01:41, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I like version 3 better myself. I withdraw the former 2 versions and I'll ask for their deletion, while shifting my support to version 3. -- Shauri 03:04, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. The image description page lacks any descriptive text or licensing information. Enochlau 11:11, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * That happened because it is an alternate version of the one originally posted, which had that information, and indeed the newer version wasn't updated. It now contains all description/license details. -- Shauri 12:46, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * In any case, oppose. The building in the background (left hand side), and the black bushes in the foreground (bottom right) are distracting and lessen the appeal for this particular picture. It appears that the building is itself magnificent, but perhaps the positioning and the framing of this particular photo is not the best. Enochlau 09:14, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. An adequate pic, but without that WOW factor for a Featured Pic. Sorry - Adrian Pingstone 14:11, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose, agree with Adrian Pingstone. Junes 09:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
