Jefferson market.jpg

This image does a great job of illustrating Jefferson Market Library, and also happens to be a quite pleasing to the eye, at least to me. I love the composition with the tower on the right and 6th Avenue and the three taxis on the left.

It appears in Jefferson Market Library, Greenwich Village and Sixth Avenue (Manhattan).

• Support Both I like both. They would be good featured pictures. Sharkface217 04:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC) reply
• Oppose. The spire literally touches the edge of the frame, so composition isn't great. That alone is probably enough to seal a weak oppose, but there is perspective distortion (could be corrected) and poor sharpness too. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 10:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Ok, I've fixed your first comment by adding some more sky (is that cheating?) with Photoshop. As to the perspective distortion, I don't have the skills to fix that. And by poor sharpness, do you mean it should be sharper? Becuase I can do that in about 4 seconds with Picasa. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 00:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC) reply
    • No, that is just artificial sharpness. Sharpness really means resolution, which doesn't mean the number of of pixels in an image, but the ability to distinguish fine details. If you didn't capture it in camera, you cannot get it back in any way. -- antilived ^{T | C | G} 09:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC) reply
• Oppose. Awkward angle/perspective, scaffolding, crammed composition (not only the top, but also the bottom). And ack antilived about the acuteness. -- Dschwen 10:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC) reply
  • You sky replacement/extension seriously screwed up some details on the tower (strong oppose edit2). All versions have that high-rise about to top over in the background. -- Dschwen 10:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC) reply
    • Yes, I did it in a bit of a hurry Friday. I could probably do a little better job, but is it worth it? -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 06:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC) reply
      • Honestly? No! Don't get me wrong, the picture is not crap, I'm sure it's a welcome contribution in the articles it's used. But the amount of work spent on this pic just trying to havde it pass FPC would be better invested in providing more pictures of Greenwich Village / NYC even if they only appear on commons. I'm fairly sure with some persistence and reshooting you can improve on some of the existing pics. -- Dschwen 09:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC) reply
