Info Inui-yagura Turret, guarding the outer moat of Osaka Castle and the skyline of Osaka Business Park, Osaka, Japan; all by me, --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 18:03, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Lovely image, and contrast between the two types of building. I wonder if a 3:2 crop (losing some sky) would be a better format? I'm disappointed at the lack of fine detail at 100%, especially the left/right edge. -- Colin (talk) 21:14, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Colin and 3:2 it is... you're right, cropping did improve the image. As for the dissapointing image quality at 100%, there's not much I can do now, alas. Suffice it to say, I replaced the 17-40 with the far superior 16-35 4 a couple of weeks ago (after Japan... :-/ ) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 21:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support I want the Martin's money for go in Japan --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 07:51, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support And I want Martin's new camera equipment. I was hesitating at first because of the sharpness issue to the right (pre new lens), but this juxtaposition of old and new is simply too good to be turned down. --cart-Talk 08:33, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm afraid I must insist on keeping both equipment and money for upcoming photo projects . But I'll definitely come back to Japan one day - one the most amazing, interesting and beautiful countries I've ever been to! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:35, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment fro this reason i want your money! --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 15:14, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful composition despite quality-wise and you are welcome to came back and stay in Japan anytime :) --Laitche (talk) 15:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly qualified support Has some slight imperfections—wildly unsharp tree at right and overexposed area on the castle—but overall it is an excellently composed juxtaposition of not only old and new but, by extension, East and West. Daniel Case (talk) 16:34, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
