- Question Why did you choose to picture it in the afternoon, when the main facade with the entry is in shadow? -- Elekhh ( talk) 22:01, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Well, there are two reasons. Firstly, in the late afternoon there are more chances to take a photo with no people around. Secondly, the entrance is lit by the sun during the midday hours when is the worst time for photography. During this time, it is hard to have no parts overexposed.-- MrPanyGoff ( talk) 22:59, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

- Support. Although the main facade is not the one lit by the sun, there is no substantial difference in contrast or lack of detail in that section. The photo is encyclopaedic, illustrates the object perfectly and is aesthetically pleasing. — Toдor Boжinov — 14:41, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

- Weak support: Crisp and sharp, alright. Large, yes. However, I'm not crazy on the lighting. The emblem (?) over the front door is barely discernible. Crisco 1492 ( talk) 08:47, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
