Info The Kuppelsaal (cupola hall) of the Vienna University of Technology was recently renovated and adapted as a lecture and event hall. The shape reminds on an upside down hull of a tall ship.

Support. Nicely taken. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the ceiling though. Diliff (talk) 13:08, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for review and voting. For your question of more ceiling: Like this one? --P e z i (talk) 10:20, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although it would have been nice to have stitched three images to get the height of that one, with the width of the original nominated image. Diliff (talk) 09:50, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Then we come to this one. But for me it is impossible to get out the extreme distortion. --P e z i (talk) 11:01, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Basically a very good photo if it were not for the extremely overexposed, and outshone window. --Steindy (talk) 19:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The window is not "extremely overexposed". This is a plain glass window (so no detail to retain), and the small amount of glare is realistic. Indeed, if HDR/processing had brought the bright skylight window down to merely paper-white, I might have opposed. -- Colin (talk) 08:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree with Colin. Not every blown highlight is a problem to be solved. Sometimes they're actually necessary for the correct tonality of a scene. Clear glass windows are often so much brighter than an interior scene that it would look awful if it were artificially darkened. One way to avoid this contrast would be to shoot it around dusk where the lighting is more balanced between indoors and outdoors, but I don't think it's necessary here.
