Reason: High quality image of a major landmark in Tokyo. The tight framing helps emphasise the outstanding scale of this unusual building.

Oppose -- I'm afraid that the buildings in the background on the left ruin the picture for me. The resolution could be better too. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 19:36, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support knowing the density of Tokyo, I'd be surprised if someone could get a photo of a building's front without showing other buildings in the background. Pine _{(was GreenPine)} ^talk 21:44, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support nice photo that meets the criteria. Having visited this museum, I an attest that it's a large building on a smallish site, and this is probably the best possible angle. You'd be pretty hard pressed to take a photo of any building in central Tokyo that doesn't have other buildings in the background. Nick-D (talk) 08:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weal Support Yes the resolution could be better but it meets the minimum standards of 1000px. The perspective shows the design of the building well, overall its a good image but it could be better. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 10:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- crop too tight on each side and the bottom. Renata (talk) 17:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm not sure that that actually is a crop - the area from where this photo could have been taken is quite limited (there's a train line just behind it, and a set of stairs to the left) so this looks like the best possible angle. File:Musee edo.jpg illustrates what the photographer was up against here - this photo was probably taken from the top of the stairs. Nick-D (talk) 03:23, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Ticks the boxes for me. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I understand the limitations of the location, but framing and lighting are just not good enough.. Makeemlighter (talk) 01:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
