Info Aerial photo of a disactivated coal powerplant in Sines, west coast Portugal. I like the dramatic effect of the chimney, enhanced by the strong shadows, soft colours and desolate view. This is one of those cases where the less-than-optimal image quality may be mitigated by the eye-catching composition. All by Alvesgaspar -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Oppose Not the most pleasing composition/lighting. The buildings are cut off in awkward places, and the shadows don't really contribute to a cohesive message for me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:12, 2 October 2021 (UTC)- Support Understand King’s comment, especially about the crop, but I am still wowed by this incredible perspective. The earthy colours and the overall impression of desolation are also very good. --Aristeas (talk) 08:29, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
Comment Light is hard. If you are banking on contrast, why not try B/W? Compositionally, this is rather tight. A wider perspective with softer light (softer shadows) may have produced better colors and the desolate feel, IMHO -- Dey.sandip (talk) 07:21, 3 October 2021 (UTC)- Oppose. Per King. I see what you were trying for but it didn't work. Daniel Case (talk) 15:28, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per others, crop just too awkward. If the near chimney opening would be more towards the lower left corner to leave more place for the distant one, it might work much better, but this is just too unbalanced. --Kreuzschnabel 09:59, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- Support In this case the unusual crops and harsh contrast actually work well for me. I agree that black and white might be a good idea. Cmao20 (talk) 14:19, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per King. --Fischer.H (talk) 16:42, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I agree with the critics and will make another try when possible -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
