Info The Tagebau Garzweiler, here as seen during golden hour, is a surface mine in the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia. It is operated by RWE and used for mining lignite. All by me, --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:32, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I wasn't sure about the other picture of this mine that you nominated, but this one is IMO really good. I like the different tiers of elevation and the different colors, and the placement of the shadow really helps, too. And that more difficult to define thing: A very satisfying form. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:24, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like this one. --Ximonic (talk) 11:56, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Still no wow for me in this. Daniel Case (talk) 01:49, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Totally ok, Daniel - but doesn't this nom try to meet your recent demands? It concentrates on just one central element - literally highlighted - and got rid of all chaotic, distracting factors... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:24, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those weren't demands, just comments on what might make the image better. That doesn't mean they necessarily would, or that any image that reflects those comments automatically becomes featurable. Really, I'm just one oppose !vote. Daniel Case (talk) 05:32, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, 's all good, man! ;-)--Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:52, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Daniel, also the shadow at the bottom is distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:55, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ foreground shadow. Charles (talk) 08:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Crop much better. Oppose vote removed. Charles (talk) 18:02, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The foreground shadow serves two purposes, imo. It provides depth and helps accentuate the well-lit industrial structure. I do agree, however, that there may be a bit too much of it. That's why I cropped a significant portion. Pinging previous voters Ikan Kekek, Ximonic, Daniel Case, King of Hearts, Famberhorst, Uoaei1, MZaplotnik, S.

Comment - I prefer the original, which was in my opinion more balanced. I'm not sure I like the new version enough to do more than abstain, so I'll deliberate about that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:44, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, looking at it without comparing it to the others, it's excellent and deserves the star, IMO. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:08, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
