Info Plaza Mayor de Santa Ana and City Hall, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, as seen atop the Cathedral of Santa Ana. When heading towards the city I kept hoping for the clouds to miraculously disappear - only to realize that this dramatic pre-rain blanket of clouds helps create a special mood that is rather picturesque in its own way.

Oppose Weather, composition ...--The Photographer 16:36, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the weather is a matter of taste, but please do elaborate on your issues with the composition, The Photographer. Thanks --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO composition is centered, not remarcable main subject, btw, tilt --The Photographer 18:15, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think the composition is fine, but the light is a bit flat, a bit dull. Not very exciting. --Peulle (talk) 18:02, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Perhaps even threatening clouds thicken slightly.--Famberhorst (talk) 18:10, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support The hills with all the houses, looking very much like some crazy piles of LEGO, make the picture. :) Different, fresh. --Cart (talk) 18:33, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose dull light. Charles (talk) 21:19, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like. Not sure it would have been better with sunny weather (sun = shadows). --A.Savin 21:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Michielverbeek (talk) 22:40, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Alex. The sky looks very much like ours in this Monsoon season! :) J e e 03:02, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Very drab, doesn't excite me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice view and good quality, but I agree with Ikan. In the picture there is some dynamic thank to the perspective but I'd tried to emphasize that with a wider angle view in order to have the feeling that I'm surrounded by those 2 rows of houses. Poc o² 08:15, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Info Addressing the issues mentioned above, I've tried to increase clarity and brightness of the image's lower half (the city). The lighting should be less drab now. As far as a wider angle is concerned, well, I'd have preferred a bit more space on both sides as well, but some protruding elements of the church's facade (i.e. ugly stones) prevented me from getting any - pinging: The Photographer, Peulle, Famberhorst, Cart, Charles, A.Savin, Michielverbeek, J e e, Johann Jaritz, Ikan Kekek, Poc o² --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:13, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still not for me. Charles (talk) 20:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The main issue to me is the perspective, I would have enjoyed it from a lower point of view, not sure whether just pitching down the camera would have made it. Poc o² 16:35, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry. The weather is not a problem (clouds are nice), but I think we have too much sky and not enough plaza (Composition issue). Not a bad picture, but not FP for me.--Jebulon (talk) 15:21, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Peulle. Daniel Case (talk) 05:24, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Alex. Empty bue sky could also be dull. --Milseburg (talk) 12:11, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Peulle. --Karelj (talk) 21:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I would prefer lower camera angle to get more of the plaza. Lighting is flat. Nothing particularly special to merit FP status. —Eve Teschlemacher (talk) 06:12, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
