Info all by me -- Benh (talk) 21:31, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info it was actually uploaded by B2Belgium. Sorry for the wrong credits. - Benh (talk) 21:50, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral OK my turn to take the reviews. Please be honest. This is my take at low key photography. I also like the gondolas lines going toward the sun. -- Benh (talk) 21:31, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's got a lot going for it, but the foreground being out of focus is a shame. Charles (talk) 21:55, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Charles. Just, are we talking about the gondolas? Because the exposure was long enough for motion blur to show (I believe it's even an exposure blending). But yes not the sharpest work for sure generally speaking. - Benh (talk) 22:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I understand, so Support Charles (talk) 09:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support The foreground is out of focus, but it's an atmospheric and beautiful picture. Cmao20 (talk) 22:46, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Boats in water are notoriously uncooperative when it comes to longer exposure, these are good enough as they add to the ambience. --Cart (talk) 09:10, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but I would love to see a wider crop --Uoaei1 (talk) 10:40, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support but i would tweak the sharpening, which causes quite a strong white-line halo round high-contrast edges. Perhaps the radius is too large? -- Colin (talk) 11:30, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I was a bit busy today. I remember thinking about fixing that some time ago. Not sure if it isn't due to exposure blending. Not even sure I did exposure blending really... that was 4 years ago. But will go back at that, hopefully this week. And thanks (to everyone) for the review(s). - Benh (talk) 22:58, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great light - well managed. --C messier (talk) 13:03, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support IMO much of the pictorial appeal of this image comes from various perspective lines curving in towards the sun or, with horizon lines of a wider diameter, appearing to hold the sun in the sky. I like the image but would consider a slightly tighter crop (shown on image) to enhance this effect. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:26, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same, have been busy. I saw the annotation you did, and it might improve the effect of the lines drawing your eyes to the sun. But on the other hand, Uoaei asks for wider crop... so ?? Maybe it's subjective issue here... - Benh (talk) 22:58, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed @Colin: Really still unsure why the fringe, but it was indeed an exposures blend. I fixed with cloning. It broke my Lr dev settings, so I tried to emulate the previous version. Hope I got it right. - Benh (talk) 17:56, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support A bit heavy on the sharpening and I wish that one gondola at left had stayed still but ...very painterly all the same. Daniel Case (talk) 01:23, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
