- I'm not really wild about it, the colours don't look right. D/R if you're convinced it's better... J Milburn (talk) 01:03, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Careful not to trust your intuition if you weren't there at the time though - sometimes it's obvious when colours are wrong, but sometimes you can't know for sure. The colours are correct though, they haven't been enhanced. It was taken at blue hour, the foreground and the building itself is lit up with sodium lights and with white floodlights from the outside. That's why it has such a strange combination of colours, but that's exactly how it was. Here's proof. All Lightroom sliders set to their default locations, white balance set 'as shot'. Sorry, I know you didn't outright say that the colours had been falsified, but it bugs me when people assume that it 'doesn't look right' when it clearly is.

- Keep. Has nobody bothered to examine the proposed replacement in any detail? There is some serious posterisation in the sky that isn't present in the original. Sloppy editing. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:29, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
