Info Aerial view of Altenburg castle in Bamberg, Germany during sunset. Created and uploaded by Ermell – nominated by me, --Aristeas (talk) 09:20, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support When I saw this photo I knew I had to nominate it ;–). So much atmosphere! I was flabbergasted how Ermell has mastered to position the drone in the right moment exactly so that the sinking sun is shining through the windows of the tower. And at the same time it is a very valuable overview of the castle and it’s situation. For a drone photo taken in that difficult contre-jour situation, the technical quality is really good. --Aristeas (talk) 09:20, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support maybe sharpening has gone a bit too far, but nevertheless FP to me. --Ivar (talk) 09:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Neutral This picture transmits a feeling of artificiality, owing to the overall greenish tone. It could be that these colours are natural, but I very much doubt it. Look, for example at the sky and the upper part of the walls. I suppose it can be fixed though. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:58, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you for your review! I did consider the greenish tone of the walls as natural because walls in the shadow often have not only a bluish, but also a little greenish tint; probably the effect is emphasized here by the contrast with the bright red/yellow colours of the sunset. However a little test shows that moving the colour balance by about 10% from green towards magenta may actually improve the image (of course that makes the sunset even more shining ;–). I guess that Ermell will come up with a real solution and ask for your patience. Sorry that I could not resist nominating this image as soon as I saw it ;–). Thank you all, --Aristeas (talk) 18:10, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with Aristeas (talk) and also with Alvesgaspar (talk). Fantastic and it´s the perfect moment, but the white balance is too green and the color too saturated. I vote with pro when this is fixed. Je-str (talk) 15:18, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Most well-done aerial shots look good, partly because we are not used to see such things. This one is a fine photo from that perspective. But this one looks over-processed to me, which makes me withhold for now -- Dey.sandip (talk) 16:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The fresh leaves always look oversaturated at this time of year. I have reduced the green a little and hope that is ok. Thank you very much for your support.--Ermell (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ermell: I don't think doing a selective saturation reduction on the greens is the right move here. You can still see the green tint at the top of the sky, which shouldn't be this color. I would shift the WB more towards the magenta side, and maybe saturation won't need to be reduced by so much as a result. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:27, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
