• Comment. It is a nice 'simple' scene, but I feel like the composition is a bit wrong as the top of the building is cut off on the left side and I th ink it should have more sky visible. I instinctively wish to 'look up' beyond the top of the frame. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
  • The original is a far better composition (of course except for the cropping of the sky) IMO. The alternative looks a bit too plain. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 17:02, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
• Comment Was it possible to get this wider? The composition seems very cramped frankly. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Sure, but it will have to wait some time and I doubt I can find the place empty again... Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:32, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
