Info HDR view at dusk of the old town of Tarazona and Queiles river, Aragon, Spain. Poc o² 15:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support A typical blue hour photo with some remarkable aspects: reflections from the red wall on the water surface in the otherwise rather uninteresting canal and nice street tree lights right behind. Beautiful colours overall, good atmosphere. --Tremonist (talk) 15:45, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose That's a quite overdone HDR I think... - Benh (talk) 16:58, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The walls of the river are lightened up, isn't it? --Laitche (talk) 18:17, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is a bit too cold, the buildings in background left are too blue. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:29, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Disagree with Benh this time, nice HDR of dusk imo, and if it was in blue hour, every thing looks like bluish but it was not I agree with Christian. In any case I support this except when the cheating was :) --Laitche (talk) 21:00, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Overdone and unnatural. Never seen a river like this...--Jebulon (talk) 21:39, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think sea and river become like this ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]) espcially with long exposure :) --Laitche (talk) 03:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've seen this in photographs, but never in real...("unnatural")--Jebulon (talk) 10:24, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a photograph! hahaha. --Laitche (talk) 11:29, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't try to ridicule other persons here, it is a boomerang behaviour in general.--Jebulon (talk) 22:12, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are misunderstanding about my comment Jebulon. I mentioned the river with long exposure, wanted to say this is not in real :) --Laitche (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree with Laitche. There are other problems with this image IMO but the river looks like this simply because a long exposure was necessary, not because there's a problem with the technique. It's not always possible to photograph a scene the way the eyes see it (and anyway, in low light, our eyes don't perceive colour very well, would you argue that we should desaturate a photo to better match our eyes?). We can try to match our mind's eye and it's great if we can succeed, but in this case I don't think it's possible. We have to accept that the camera sees things very differently to the eye. Diliff (talk) 17:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's the other problems, Diliff. I'm interested. --Laitche (talk) 19:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The main problem is that it is completely unnatural and overdone. Short: ugly (my taste. Same value as yours)--Jebulon (talk) 22:12, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think the HDR has perhaps been pushed a bit too far. The sky looks a bit strange. It has the coolness of the blue hour but doesn't have the tonality that I would expect from the blue hour (a deep blue sky, bright incandescent lighting and deep shadows etc). Nice lighting is really important for a night/blue hour photo and I think this might have been taken a bit too early when it wasn't at its best. It feels a bit dull and grey. And apart from the church and the tower on top of the hill, there doesn't seem to be much of historical interest in the scene. Most of the buildings seem fairly modern. Compositionally, it's also missing a 'je ne sais quoi', for me. Diliff (talk) 08:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment das ist mir zu viel HDR für ein (s) aber zu hübsch für ein (o) --Ralf Roleček 09:19, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Moody blue hour shot of a historic area. Daniel Case (talk) 17:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:36, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per my comments above. Diliff (talk) 08:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too much tonemapping on the sky for me, sorry. — Julian H.^✈ 19:42, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose HDR is overdone here. --Code (talk) 07:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
