  •   Comment I don't know if this makes sense, but I don't understand the composition (I don't want to sound rude at all). The foreground hill and the background hill (the lighthouse) seem to be together as one because of the colours, but they are not, and this is confusing imo. I don't know if you wanted the lighthouse to be the centre of interest of the picture, but if this was the goal, I think it is too small in the final composition (the foreground hill takes too much attention). Maybe if you had shown a part of the road, it would have helped to lead the eye to the lighthouse. I hope this is an useful comment ;) --Kadellar (talk) 23:00, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your feedback. It's not rude but good argued some good points and I undertsand them. My main intent wasn't to center the lighthouse but it was more or less inevitable. Main idea was to showing the interessting diagonal line that is formed by the foreground mountains and the sourrounding of the lighthouse. In my eyes this image is impressive because this diagonal is interrupted by the cap (background) framed by the sea and sky in different shades of blue. The lighthouse centered and closer from the same position we see here File:Mallorca - Leuchtturm am Kap Formentor4.jpg. I have different versions of this image (not yet published) and I can see if there is a way to show this impressive landscape without haveing the lighthouse centered. --Wladyslaw (talk) 04:35, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment Several dust spots (see notes about some ones). The horizon is not stright only at left (see note): Barrel distortion?--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 02:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll fix it soon. --Wladyslaw (talk) 04:35, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lmbuga: fixed now. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:42, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose A little underexposed, flat light and a small hill in the way of a composition that would work for me. The diagonal line, in my opinion, doesn't work because there is no contrast to support it, and it leads nowhere. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 12:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
IMO the diagonal works because we have a strong contrast between the scraggy landscape and the clear blue sea. But for sure this doesn`t impress all persons in the same way. --Wladyslaw (talk) 12:51, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
