Question Can anyone explain why it suddenly loses focus on the left side? The whole picture is in focus and then it suddenly blurs... And it's a flat wall from what I remember so I can't think of why it would suddenly lose focus... gazhiley.co.uk 09:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not a fan of the composition, sorry. J Milburn (talk) 09:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Noise, sharpness problems, not really interesting composition. This has got to be one of the most photographed buildings in Australia so an FP needs to be something special. It's not in the same league as the existing FP. Fletcher (talk) 22:31, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per J Milburn and Fletcher. --Avenue (talk) 01:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The Sydney Opera House is an iconic structure that is one of the most photographed buildings in the entire planet. This particular shot is distinctly inferior compared to most we’ve all seen. It’s hard to believe there aren’t much better ones on Wikipedia. Greg L (talk) 23:47, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
