  •   Info Freezing rain in Quebec city. All by -- Photographer 17:39, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment Looking over the image with my magnifying glass (drawing rectangles with IrfanView at 100%) I see quite a number of buildings with significant tilt. I know lamp posts are notorious for not being vertically true, but all the nearby ones are tilted. The very furthest left building has a noticeable tilt if you look at the corner edge. On the right, the factory/port (?) building towers are leaning. The spikes on the central tower appear very slightly leaning. There are lots of other examples if you try to find such edges. So I think you need to add many more vertical control points. I won't oppose, even with these errors, as the light is lovely and composition very good. It is a shame about the scaffolding and white sheeting, though I suppose they could have used blue sheeting which would be worse. Shame there is nobody on the nearby seats enjoying the view with us. Do we have a similar FP or past candidate? It looks familiar? -- Colin ( talk) 18:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Colin as usual, your comments are very accurate. I had noticed that vertical problem, however, sometimes I do not know if these houses, because they are 1600-1700, are somewhat deformed. Anyway, I have corrected based on your comments (however, there should be a way to not correct anything at hand, that way it could be a representation of reality without alteration). This year at WLM Canada, my winning photo is similar to this, it is possibly the most beautiful view of Quebec that can be accessed without a car. There are things that I miss from Latin America such as garbage and imperfections, poor people in the street and general decadence that does not exist here. Please, take a look and tell me if it is ok. Thanks --Photographer 23:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  Done Ikan Kekek thanks for the note, in the future I will use more specific names for the files --Photographer 23:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose Colin has a good argument against it being an FP at this time, although I can't really see much tilt, if any (I didn't look as closely, and I may have done so after the corrected image was uploaded). But it's still rather noisy.   Support now Daniel Case (talk) 05:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
