Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Reynolds Club at the University of Chicago
- Reason
- I figure that it's time for me to come down from the peanut gallery and put one of my own snapshots on the firing line. Yes, it's tilted, but that's largely due to the limited number of positions from which the building can be photographed from that direction due to the locations of trees and other buildings. [The Reynold's Club will soon be the victorious stomping-ground of the lovely MP and dashing DD].
- Proposed caption
- The Reynolds Club is the student union building for the University of Chicago. Part of the building, the John J. Mitchell Tower, is modeled after Magdalen College Tower at Oxford University. The building serves as a bell tower and as the home of WHPK, the university's campus radio station.

- Comment I attempted to correct the tilt a little bit; also played with the coloring to try to get rid of the blue highlights on some of the leaves (Edit 1). CillaИ X♦C [dic] 21:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- oppose tilt, subject cut off, and chromatic abberation. Edit still doesn't deal with the fringing, as it leaves pale fringing, and it's color balance is green shifted. Debivort 05:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose (and revised version is worse, sorry). Even considering the limitations of a crowded urban campus, there are existing better portraits of the Reynolds Club building out there and this one is only of the bell tower. It's nice enough for illustrative purposes but it isn't nice enough for featured. --Dhartung | Talk 14:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
