- Support good composition. --Amir Pashaei (talk) 20:40, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose A 3/4 backlit shot can often be quite effective, but here the stone wall blocks the composition and casts an undesirable shadow on the foreground pavement. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:09, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Welcome to FPC (as far as I know, i haven't seen you nominate before). I like the shot but I think it is for me a bit more QI than FP. The subject is IMO not really that outstanding and for a building that isn't that naturally impressive I would only support a photo shot under excellent light or really outstanding composition. I actually like the composition, but I think the light is a little bit less than ideal - per KoH the shadows caused by the backlighting are not that attractive for me. There is also a little bit of blue chromatic aberration in the branches at the top, though this is easily fixable and not the reason for my oppose. Please, keep trying at FPC - this is not too far off the standard. Cmao20 (talk) 00:09, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- @King of Hearts and Cmao20: Thank you for your reviews. The blurring of the branches at the very top of the image is not caused by CA, but by the extreme edge of a shifted lens (a Canon TS-E 24mm mk II, very possibly shifted to the maximum to give a 12mm rise). I don't believe that such loss of resolution can be fixed in post (but I am hoping Canon will soon release a newer model which exhibits this effect less severely). I did wonder if the backlighting would put off some people, but decided to nominate because my eye keeps getting caught by the soft glow of the building face even though it's in shade and competing with areas lit by direct sunlight. If anyone is interested, I could offer an alternative crop which removes most of the road, but I kept it originally because I liked the long shadows made by the gate in the low sun. --Bobulous (talk) 18:28, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose I’m not at all sold on the composition, sorry. At least, I’d entirely crop out the foreground road. Then, I’d love to see more of the tree on the left, as a counterweight to the one on the right. --Kreuzschnabel 21:23, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per King, Kreuzschnabel and Cmao. Daniel Case (talk) 02:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
