  • Promotion Good quality. --JLPC 15:23, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
      Comment Das Bild ist zu ungleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet, links und rechts düstere Schatten, das Tor am Ende der Straße hingegen recht hell. Außerdem stören die beiden blauen Fahrzeuge vorn links sehr. Ob die in ihren Wagen einsteigende Dame dem Bild förderlich ist, sei dahingestellt. – Vor einer Auszeichnung sollten weitere Meinungen gehört werden. -- Spurzem 23:44, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Translation: The lighting of this picture is uneven. There are dark shadows at the left and at the right but the town-gate at the end of the street is rather bright. Further the blue cars left in front are very disturbing. Whether the lady getting in her car is useful for the picture may be leaved undecided. – Before distinction more people should give their vote. -- Spurzem 10:05, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Please, Lothar, would you be so kind as to comment in English, especially after another comment ? Not all users understand German. Thanks in advance. --JLPC 08:37, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

  •   Support I see no abuse of a polarizing filter. If the sky would be near black it would be an abusive usage. But in the case here the IQ is finde. Some minor CAs (see note), but easily to fix. --Tuxyso 20:59, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

I curve-corrected the image slightly, but I'm not well versed in this kind of editing, so please revert if you think it's worse now. --Yerpo 07:05, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
  •   Comment yes, King of Hearts, I agree with Jebulon. I usually have to underexpose an image not to burn a part, but I can recover the rest with Lightroom. See this one, just promoted. Sky got burnt all the time, the rest was in shadow. --Kadellar 10:03, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
    Personally what I do is shoot in RAW, letting the whites blow out about 1/3 to 2/3 stop, and I'm usually able to recover everything in post. --King of Hearts 07:59, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

I disagree: The photo was tilt corrected and the verticals are still verticals. Might be the convex shape of the building is misleading you? Also a clear grey background is not a reason for denial, as in a encyclopedial context it is a desirable effect to focus on the depicted object. --Cccefalon 22:49, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Exposure is ok to me, but it is definitely tilted and needs a vertical perspective correction Poco a poco 20:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  Done Ok, applied another tilt correction and uploaded a higher resolution to make decision about vertical lines easier. --Cccefalon 09:25, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose this decision! There was NO consensual review after uploading a complete new version which responds to the previously made critic!!!!
I also oppose that User:Savin who just made the first objection against the photo is closing the case without waiting for other opinions or even reiterating his previous opinion in the light of new facts.
This procedure is against the rules of consensual review! --Cccefalon 09:48, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Please stick to the quality criteria and don't start discussions about resizing if it fits the size criteria at all. Even if I would crop this further, it would fit. Second I didn't want to cut of the leaves on the left side. After checking it again, I see that those leaves doesn't belong to the plant and you are right in this point. I think I can fix that. --LC-de 16:36, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

  •   Oppose Dull colours, many artifacts, far away from your usual quality images. Accidently a wrong version (preview?) uploaded? I'm also curious about the EXIF-Data. 16 bit/pixel? --Smial 18:21, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
    • Cannot follow. Looked at it at 100%, seems OK, where are artifacts? Third opinion please. --A.Savin 18:57, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
The sky has strong compression artifacts. In many parts of the image low contrast, blurry areas adjoin to blocky sharpening artifacts, e.g. at the pillars' flutings. This is also true for those golden applications. The dull colours occur from the disadvantageous lighting. Your images have usually much better quality. -- Smial 11:59, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
This sounds like you got a download error. I don't see such blatant flaws, and normally I notice artifacts and similar things. Try to purge and download once again. --A.Savin 21:46, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Please view notes at interim version. Other of your images like File:Warsaw 07-13 img25 Szaniawski Palace.jpg do not show such flaws. -- Smial 15:36, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
With the dull colours, you're probably right. However, I don't see as dramatic sky artifacts as depicted in your version. And if there were any, I wouldn't have nominated. --A.Savin 17:07, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
  •   Support Very good quality, I agree with A.Savin, there is no artefacts, the things you take for artefacts are little picks on the roof and are part of the architecture, you can see its on many images on internet --Christian Ferrer 19:40, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
