Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Milwaukee Art Museum redux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The brise soleil on Santiago Calatravas's Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Museum in three different positions. Image 1: open.
Image 2: closing.
Image 3: Almost closed.
Reason
After the failed nomination earlier this month I was intrigued by the building and looked for better versions of the brise soleil. This set of pictures from Flickr captures the entrance of the pavilion at sundown, just when the brise soleil is closing, and gives a better idea of its purpose. It also has a quite beautiful atmosphere. I did some cleanup work on the image, but I did not retouch the right wing of the sail, which seems to have some surface damage. (Note this is not a representation of the whole pavilion, which should be covered from a different angle.)
