Support Lovely image --LivioAndronico talk 17:41, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Bottom left corner seemed a bit to dark, but since there is a illuminated bridge near it - it is fine. Other parts are simply beautiful. -- Pofka (talk) 17:58, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done Pofka, thanks, I've brighten a bit the left corner for to try to mitigate a bit the shade. -- Christian Ferrer 19:26, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment Lovely but I think you could bump a contrast a bit. The shadows should be darker. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:57, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Done Thanks, the shadows are now a bit darker. -- Christian Ferrer 04:50, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very good, but I found a dust spot in the sky. I added a note. --Code (talk) 20:36, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thanks, dust spot removed. -- Christian Ferrer 04:50, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I haven't decided my vote yet but the front face of the buildings in shadow is a minus factor... --Laitche (talk) 21:51, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't like the vegetation dominating the bottom right corner; but i especially find the lighting unappealing. -- Fotoriety (talk) 00:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Bad lights. --Kikos (talk) 04:29, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Honestly I do not see any problem there, eyes are guided by light. Eyes follow the bridge and a first set of home, then the second line of houses to the main village, and the mountain in the background to finish. The image would have been flat, with a light face, shadows and lighting give volume and enhance the two centers of interest are the village and the bridge. But the principles are the principles...then treat yourself, there are plenty of shade here than reason to oppose. -- Christian Ferrer 05:19, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I know this composition is totally different from that nomination but the direction of light is almost same, And we opposed that nomination caused by shadow so I thought it's a bit unfair that's why I've just commented above but I think the light(shadow) is not so big problem here. --Laitche (talk) 09:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Laitche, I see a big difference between the both image. On your exemple the first thing we see it's the shadows on the buildings. On my image sorry but it's not the first thing you see, it's the bridge and the village and after that, I agree, the big shadow on the hill. The big shadow on the hill is a shadow from a mountain, on my image shadows on the buildings are much much less harsh, and at full resolution on the village sorry but the little shadowed areas are not so disturbing and even are nice. So sorry but in all disturbing things on this image, if disturbing things there is, shadows on the buildings are the less disturbing. But I can understand the shadow on the hill is disturbing and without this big shadow this image would have 10 support. The light is very good and beautifull for my taste but I do not doubt that this will certainly not have to convince you or anyone looking for a reason to oppose. "unfair"? the both image are for me very different and if you oppose all shadowed images just because you did it once and now you do not want to seem unfair by support other images it's you who is unfair (I know, Laitche, you did not oppose at this time and this sentence is not only for you). -- Christian Ferrer 11:59, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure that you are misunderstanding my comment, that unfair means only why I wrote the first comment, not for this nomination and I don't think the light is a big problem here as I wrote above (but a bit minus factor, I think) and I have not decided my vote yet, at all :) --Laitche (talk) 12:54, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After my first comment I saw the two oppose votes and then I thought, maybe my first comment is misleading the others that's why I added the second comment. Because the first comment is a little different from my intention so I needed an explanation. --Laitche (talk) 00:30, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Has interesting shadows. --Tremonist (talk) 13:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 19:46, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Good quality, close-range view is a bit distracting but distant view is attractive. --Laitche (talk) 00:06, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I like the scene. If possible I'd have tried to shot it further from the left so that the bridge builds a more predominating diagonal and so, at the same time, get rid of the part of the vacuum in the half right below the houses. The main problem here though IMHO is the lighting. I would enjoy to see this landscape with a morning light. Poc o² 18:52, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Alex Florstein (talk) 14:15, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agree with Poco. The balance of bridge and village is good, but the bottom right is dead space, and it lack magical light. -- Colin (talk) 21:20, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately I could not move, it was the only point of view (trees at right and left of me) so close of the village. There is a lot of other possibility File:Vieussan, Hérault 14.jpg from surrounding hills but not so close or need the telephoto lens. And to answer to Poc, at the morning the bridge is shadowed from this point of view. -- Christian Ferrer 05:24, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
