• Oh, that's nice. It's really hard to take a picture of a skyscraper and get a proper idea of its sheer bulk, and this really achieves that. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 21:22, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support either version (although the edited version loses the highlighting around the top edge, which I liked). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 15:44, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Looks like it's taken straight out of a sci-fi movie... unreal. Enochlau 05:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• The hi-res picture is very grainy. Phils 10:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

• Question - What are the American laws on pictures of buildings? In Icelandic law, which is all I know, a picture which has a building (or a sculpture) as its main content can be hampered by the architect's copyright. Is there something similar over there? In any case the picture is amazing. - Haukurth 01:36, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

This came up at a conference I was at, and I believe it can be an issue, but only if money is made off of it. This would be a strong candidate for 'fair use', in my non-professional opinion. --DNicholls 02:30, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
