  • The silhouetted statue makes for an interesting aesthetic, but harms its encyclopedic value IMO, as it doesn't give a clear view of the statue, but also obstructs the view of the rotunda. I also don't think it's a high quality JPEG -- it seems to have some noise, or possibly has undergone noise reduction; either way some of the smooth surfaces do not look perfectly smooth. And, the windows are overexposed with too much ambient light coming in. I don't think it's a FP, but a good shot and tough place to shoot, I'm sure. Fletcher (talk) 19:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
