United States Capitol Dome

United States Capitol dome viewed from the northwest.

Large, bright photo of the United States Capitol, taken on a very sunny day. I feel the color of the sky adds greatly to this photo. In addition, two flag poles are visible. There are four visible flag poles on the roof of the Capitol, one on the east and west sides of the dome (the pole on the right of this photo sits on the west side of the dome), and one on each of the house chambers. When the flag is up over a chamber, it indicates that the respective house is in session. In this photo, it shows that the Senate is out of session because the flag is not up. Thoughts?

• It's an attractive photo and at a quick glance quality seems OK. Aesthetically I like it, but I rather feel that it wouldn't do too well at FPC simply because 'cutoff' building photos and building photos taken at odd angles (read pretty much anything but straight in front) usually aren't received that well at FPC. There are exceptions, but whether this has enough in it to be one of the rare exceptions I'm not sure. Anyone else have thoughts? --jjron (talk) 08:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I think it's noisy and unsharp. Fletcher (talk) 15:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
