Info Ruins of Toolse Castle, all by Urmas83 -- Urmas Haljaste (talk) 17:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Support -- Urmas Haljaste (talk) 17:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Just a ruin in rather dull light, nothing spectacular for me. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 17:41, 14 February 2014 (UTC)weakSorry. Image is nice, but that isn't the best place to take the photo. Without including the sea, something just is missing. Kruusamägi (talk) 23:06, 14 February 2014 (UTC) Oppose
- Bit better now, but I'd still prefer an image that is taken for further away, so that it would also include some sea. Light is very good in my opinion. Kruusamägi (talk) 10:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The (centered) composition is rather boring. Something special is missing here. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:53, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support I'm not sure if you could talk about centered composition if the frame is filled. Color and light is absolutely not dull. Since the ruins are on top of the hill, it's impossible to include the sea. In other words, I don't agree with the previous votes. --Rutake (talk) 09:25, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support I like the composition and the way image captured.--Mayooresan (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support I think the lighting works well here. --DXR (talk) 20:23, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose I find the lighting odd, not really flat, just off. Centered composition does not add anything to the image either. Saffron Blaze (talk) 07:00, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Comment Thank you Mr Saffron Blaze. I think this is the best comment I have seen under my picture. "The lighting is off". --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 08:49, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Perhaps you could explain how you achieve an image that seems both bright and dull at the same time? That is what I mean be "off". I suspect it is a result of over-processing. Regardless, the image has no wow. There is no indication of scale. There is nothing to reference it against. We get nothing of the context of its surroundings. The composition is a bit boring, being centered, yet the subject has no symmetry to warrant such a composition. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:46, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- The light is soft, the colors look natural. I don't understand what so you mean by dull. Not saturated? And what to you mean by bright? The photo is just well exposed. Usually this light occurs in the afternoon with scattered clouds, not too thick and not too thin. The clouds act as a "soft box". Of course it takes a lot of time to wait for the right moment and it may last only a minute or even less. I spent several hours there and I have photos in bright sunlight and I have also dull photos. With the "I came, I saw, I conquered" kind of attitude you might not capture the right moment. Waiting for the right moment is the biggest processing done here. Yes, in that meaning the picture is over-processed. Secondly, in my understanding this is not a centered composition. The main object fills the picture from side to side, so it is not centered but filled. It would be centered if the main object was smaller with "empty" space equally on both sides. Boring and no wow, maybe you are right, maybe not. The vote will show. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 20:51, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Info I uploaded a new version with different crop. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 19:45, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support Light and composition are fine. Wow is a matter of taste. Yann (talk) 06:55, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
