•  Info Had the opportunity to tour a new building in the Hudson Yards area of New York City. There was a deck on the 26th floor, so I used the opportunity to take this, stitched together from 6 shots. created/uploaded/nominated by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  14:41, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Nice, but does it need to be bended? - Benh (talk) 20:01, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment - No, but unless you see something I didn't notice, that's the architect's fault. No reason to support a photo of a scene of architecture you dislike; I think that's a legitimate reason to oppose and might consider doing so, but without faulting the photographer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:20, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

• It looks bended in the sense "cylindrical projection". - Benh (talk) 18:27, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment - That's not clear to me. I won't support this photo, though, because the view is of some of the ugly new buildings that have messed up the view of Midtown from New Jersey. Nothing much used to be in Hudson Yards, though other parts of far west Midtown had lowrise buildings, but at least it didn't mess up the view of the classic Modernist skyscrapers further east. I just really dislike the current period of architecture, and to be honest, most of the last couple of periods, going back to around the end of World War II, with some exceptions, but things have gotten worse more recently. Good photograph, but nothing I love looking at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support I suppose Boothsift 01:15, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sky noise, over-exposition, chromatic aberrations and need vertical fix (see the verticals on the right building to guide you) --Wilfredor (talk) 01:44, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Might need a bit of a perspective correction though, per Wilfredor. Cmao20 (talk) 08:05, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
•  New version uploaded - did a perspective tweak and some selective denoise on parts of the sky. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:17, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support.--Vulphere 11:04, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Read an article recently about this new observation deck featured at the top. The view from this point is also interesting -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:48, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Mixed feelings about the development in general, but I'm looking forward to heading up to that deck when it opens in March. Highest outdoor observation deck in the western hemisphere and glass barriers that tilt outwards so you can lean out and look down. Also a glass floor in part of it. It does look precarious up there, though... let's not everybody jump at once. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  02:42, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I like the way it shows this contrast between the older early 20th-century buildings at the bottom and the taller 21st-century buildings. Like so many other aspects of the changing New York skyline, it looks like something you'd see in a Chinese city. Daniel Case (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

• Speaking of the contrast, while we were looking around from this vantage we started to appreciate the grumbles of nearby buildings whose roofs and windows are now completely in a shadow for a big part of the day... :/ — Rhododendrites ^talk |  16:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
