•  Info OK, nothing to be pixel-peeped exegetically - but I really like the striking visual impact of this motif. I had to take the picture in quite a hurry - and without the help of a tripod of course - as I wasn't the only visitor there... Umeda Sky Building, designed by Hiroshi Hara and completed in 1993, is the nineteenth-tallest building in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. It consists of two 40-story towers (173m) that connect at their two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator, depicted here, crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center.

•  Oppose until perspective is corrected. Verticals should be vertical here and the half circular arches measure exactly 180 degrees. -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:06, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks, Basile Morin. I know what you mean - but: a) what is perpendicular to what in this case? And b: I was "somewhat" looking up (and therefrore also pointing my camera "somewhat" up) - as everybody does when stepping on an escalator - so my perspective is a rather natural one here. I could "correct" it of course (I've already given it a try), but the visual impact would definitely suffer. I've had a similar discussion here. ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:06, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks Martin Falbisoner for your answer, but this seems correct 1 or 2. I read the previous discussion and believe there really is a problem of perspective in both of these images. I know they're not to be categorized in the architectural field, but still, they are parts of architectural buildings, and these lines here don't look natural, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:05, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

• I guess we agree to disagree then - which is totally fine with me. Another reason why I don't want to "correct" the perspective here is that I'd like to keep the handrails as they are. They add a compositional element that your "corrected" examples are lacking --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 14:56, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

• We can disagree, of course :-) --Basile Morin (talk) 15:23, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks for striking your {{o}}, Basile Morin - but you didn't have to do that, of course! Don't feel pressured to change your vote just because other voters see things differently. (A late) Merry Christmas! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:05, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

• Dear Martin Falbisoner, I stroke my oppose vote because your explanation is legitimate. But we don't agree on the issue, and then I maintain my comment. It's true I prefer the corrected perspectives like shown in my links above. However, I also understand this is a special case quite complex, with only a portion of horizontal carpet and a long inclined tunnel. As a consequence, I find your point of view admissible, and my opposition rude. It's okay to let it go, but I do not support :-) Thanks for your tolerance, anyway Basile Morin (talk) 13:18, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
