Support The King of Aragon staircase, carved into the cliffs of Bonifacio, Corsica, France. Wonderful site, excellent picture, very impressive. -- Jebulon (talk) 08:37, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose. Lighting is unfortunately a bit suboptimal here, causing the colors to be muted. Sunrise occurred at 6:43 AM, so I think a picture taken within one or two hours of that would have been better. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:26, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand your remarks about the colours and the time. In that place, the sea is of a deep bue that can tend to ultramarine; the limestone cliffs are a kind of whitish/yellowish rocks, and the tiled roofs are that kind of orange/red ochre. Please note that on the picture, West is on the left and East on the right; I guess that two hours before, from that point of view, the place would have been more in the shade. --Myrabella (talk) 22:11, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, assuming your location marker is accurate with respect to Google Maps, the corresponding time before sunset would have yielded ideal lighting without worrying about shadows, since it's just ocean to the left. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:17, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice place, poor light, poor focus. B.p. 17:53, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  - Oui, cette nomination par Jebulon me rend fière par bien des aspects ! --Myrabella (talk) 06:35, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I too feel something wrong while comparing with File:Bonifacio vue des falaises.jpg. May be the other picture I ref. is over sharpened and with false colors. But that composition is more appealing to me. J Kadavoor J e e 16:43, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I have to agree with KoH, sorry, lighting, and also sharpness, are not at FP level. Furthermore I personally would reduce the exposure a bit, it looks overexposed, specially the sky Poc o² 07:51, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I think it's too blue, and that it should look something like this: File:Bonifacio falaises escalier roi Aragon c.jpg. The modifications should be done to the RAW-file ideally, of course. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 08:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion; however, I beg to desagree that it should look like in your proposition, way to yellowish IMO. Actually, the colors under plain light would look more like this: File:Bonifacio_falaises_Grain_de_Sable.jpg. I will give a try by the end of the week end. --Myrabella (talk) 09:46, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Supportable now, imo. Much better. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 09:44, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
