  •  Comment I'm sorry, I'm not seeing what you're seeing. The right-hand tower is not a reflection, it's real. All photographs of tall buildings shot from this close have distortions you're not conscious of when actually looking at them. -- Jim Evans (talk) 12:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose No —Percival Kestreltail is right it is not the reality it is easy to go and check on google map. The two buildings are identical and have the same orientation, which is not the case in the image. If our brain changes perspective, it does so linearly for the whole landscape. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:49, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Almost all of my building pictures are shot from a corner view so one can see both the side and front of the building. A straight on shot of most buildings does not show the entire structure. The reason the right hand picture is smaller is because it is further away. Here is the Google Maps Street view of the building [[1]]. I do not consider it a better representation of the building. Beyond that I refer you to my remarks on the Melrose Building. -- Jim Evans (talk) 14:21, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Perhaps you will like this edit better, perhaps not. There are limits to this before other perspective misrepresentations occur. I had not noticed before but your viewer deforms the image. In this case it makes the closer tower look much wider than the other. You will have to go directly to the image page to see it properly.[2] -- Jim Evans (talk) 14:57, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment In a successful photomontage, we cannot see the different borrowings; That is not the case here. But as Percival suggested it looks 'more normal'. I see the corrective work done and the goodwill. I withdraw the negative vote, but this work must be done before the appointment and with more rigor. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:04, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
