Bologna italy duomo

I uploaded this picture of the San Petronio to the commons about 10 days ago to replace the lower quality image Image:Bologna italy duomo distance.jpg that was in the Bologna article. This image is higher quality than the former picture and I believe it also meets the standards to be a featured picture. The only problem I see with the image, which will probably be pointed out, is the top of the other building that is partially blocking the San Petronio. While some might consider it distracting, I believe that it adds to the image. This can be seen in both images, and therefore cannot be taken out. It is part of the scenery adds to the character of the image. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 15:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Besides the other building being in the way i don't like the lighting. Was this taking in the afternoon? it seems the sun was setting or something because its way to red. The colors in the original look better.Nnfolz 17:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I edited this one before uploading it. I thought the sunlight was too strong. would you like me to upload the original unedited one to show you? --ZeWrestler ^Talk 18:43, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I was wondering the same thing about the colors. Both that and the grain are the reasons I don't think this is FP material. I don't think the other building blocking the San Petronio is too significant, but the picture would definitely be better with the whole subject shown. --Tewy 20:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I just uploaded the original version to the site. I'm not as much of a fan of the coloring in this image, but maybe you guys are.--ZeWrestler ^Talk 21:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's a pretty hazy original. I'm not sure if it's salvageable for FP, at least in my opinion. But I do think that your edit does a pretty good job at removing the haze, so I prefer it over the original. --Tewy 22:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Tewy. HighInBC 21:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I find the framing to be distracting. The photo seems to neither highlight the Duomo or the city. SteveHopson 21:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per many of the comments above. -- Moondigger 19:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
