- Support per nom... Quick Question however - what are the golden flies/wasps near the base for? Is that a permanant feature or a temporary art installation? gazhiley 08:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't find anything that explicitly said, but "Queen Bee @ Eureka Tower" states that "Katsalidis and Stringer had discussed the idea of making a permanent installation on various building projects over the years and the image of a Queen Bee and colony had a obvious conceptual compatibility to the context of this gigantic residential tower." That makes me think it is permanent (and it is still there in a 2010 Google streetview image). {{ commons:template:FoP-Australia}} says that permanent sculpture is FoP. Should a mention be added to the description page? Chris857 ( talk) 16:30, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- It's de minimis anyway- nothing to worry about from a copyright perspective. J Milburn ( talk) 19:45, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh I don't have any concerns about copyright Mr Milburn - but I agree with Chris that something should be added to the description or even the actual page itself as there is nothing to explain it. It's too distinctive a feature in my opinion to be ignored, and if Chris is correct that it's a permanant thing then would be nice to be mentioned. Thank you Chris857 for your detective work! gazhiley 08:42, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
- Support Proper execution as far as I can tell. Good point of view, sharp, nice (presumed) stitching. Wish all my panorama have this many vertical guidelines ;) - Blieusong ( talk) 17:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
