Support Lovely light.--Peulle (talk) 19:47, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't notice the downsizing so I'll hold off my vote. I still like the light, though.--Peulle (talk) 22:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation deemed acceptable.--Peulle (talk) 06:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Peulle, I'm quite strictly against downsizing. I downsized only once or twice, and it was when I worked with panoramas which were so big that my computer kept freezing. --Podzemnik (talk) 06:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose My first reaction was "That's not a castle. That's a four bed house with pretensions". But then I realise you've photographed the side. It is photographed too close, which results in strange asymmetrical effects to the rounded parts and spire. 16mm on a full frame camera is ultra-wide and not really appealing for exterior architecture unless you are going for an effect. I appreciate it may not be possible to get much further back. At 7MP this appears to be 70% downsized from the 20MP camera. Please can you upload upload the original? -- Colin (talk) 21:49, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for you comment, Colin. I didn't downsize the image, the pixels were lost after I fixed the perspective and cropped the image. I couldn't get any further since from the western side there is a only a small driveway and then steep stairs down. Also, I think I left a bit more space on the sides than necessary because at that time I wasn't sure if I'd need that space during quite heavy perspective correction. Well, now I know than no, I wouldn't really need it :) I uploaded the original RAW here. Any advice how to improve my post processing is highly appreciated.
