Support This is not Ximonic's biggest picture, but I think the shapes of the mountains and the light serve as an amazing backdrop to this scene in small-town Norway. As an aside, I hadn't seen "Places/Settlements" as an option before, and I'm glad it exists, because this is not really a cityscape, but neither is it a purely natural scene: it's a combination of human habitation in the foreground and nature in the background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:12, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Appealing composition, special light -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:04, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great (summmer night?!) light and a special place. --Aristeas (talk) 04:59, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support A very effective use of telephoto compression. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:03, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please say something about how that's done and what the result of the compression was. I don't know how Ximonic made this photo, only what I see. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:19, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying there was any particular technique; "compression" here just refers to the visual effect of making near and far things appear at true relative size, the opposite of wide-angle distortion. It's all about taking a telephoto lens and finding a tiny, beautiful sliver of the landscape to highlight. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:12, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I get what you're saying. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is indeed quite "normal" telephoto technically, but taken far away. Taken somewhat towards where the sun is but not quite, which gives a golden atmosphere, I think. Thank you for nomination! --Ximonic (talk) 11:31, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:43, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per King. Great example of lanscape telephoto. And the light is gorgeous. - Benh (talk) 10:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support The mountains and the lighting mood do remind me a bit of the mountains of Helm's Deep valley in Lord of the Rings. -- Radomianin (talk) 06:31, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Radomianin, I heard Tolkien was heavily inspired by Finland and the Finnish mythology, which is not far away. Who knows, he may have been inspired by Norwegian nature if he ever saw it? I certainly would. --Ximonic (talk) 11:37, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your comment, maybe one day scientists will discover if he was there. Personally, I am pretty sure he was a lover of Scandinavian nature. Best wishes :) -- Radomianin (talk) 12:05, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support After seeing this image, I really miss Nordland and would like to revisit the region. Like the light, colour and a great use of telephoto compression. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:41, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
