Oppose Too much vertical perspective correction. Buildings just look wonky having their vertical perspective altered but not the horizontal. -- Colin (talk) 15:48, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Otherwise people have opposed because of "perspective disortion".--ArildV (talk) 16:12, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I know. Tell me about it. I think it should only be adjusted if fairly small. You get away with it more if straight-on to a subject. Once you see a bit of the side, or take it from an angle, things start unravelling. If it is too much then the photographer has to either take the photo from further back or further up, or else make the perspective a feature of the composition. And sometimes a small degree of vertical perspective is not detrimental to the image (not all our shots need be architecturally precise). -- Colin (talk) 21:13, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I have no problem with straight verticals - looks a bit like a T&S shot. But the motive and composition is imho too ordinary to become featured. I would suggest to give File:Holzmarktstraße November 2013 01.jpg or File:Holzmarktstraße November 2013.jpg a try. Nonetheless a nice shot at good light. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:14, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your comment/vote. I thought about the options you suggest. Personally, I chose this because it gives a cleaner picture of the high rises (the TV Tower in in the background makes perhaps the other pictures more eye catching). Imo the motiv is very relevant. The buildings have a great architectural relevance, they were the first in a series of high-rise that left their mark on Berlin's urban landscape. They are an example of East German (and modernist) urban planning from the 1970s. And they are visible from many places in Berlin. (thanks for always motivate your votes!).--ArildV (talk) 22:38, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No wow. It is a fairly common composition, nothing special. I am sorry --The Photographer (talk) 20:54, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
