•  Oppose Composition is okay, unfortunately this photo was shot in the late afternoon with the sun just in front. The File History of the picture shows how the first version was terribly dark before a strong processing https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/6/6a/20180107090531%2120171121_Don_Det_Laos_3754_DxO.jpg This is not yet a QI, and if the shadows of the buildings have been artificially recovered in the post-treatment, this river bank is definitely in the back light. Look at the difference with the same houses shot in the morning, when the sun is behind File:Houses_and_guesthouses_on_the_bank_of_Don_Det.jpg Further thoughts : geocoding could be added and categorization improved -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:15, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
  •  Question Basile Morin, it looks like this FPC and your photo are the exact same spot?? PumpkinSky talk 03:59, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

• Yes, I live on this (beautiful and small) island. This picture was shot last January and I've just uploaded it this morning -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:04, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Hmmm. Same spot but very different angles. Let me think on this some. PumpkinSky talk 04:08, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

• @PumpkinSky: Look at the map from the GPS coordinates showing the spot and the bridge, to get an idea about where was the sun at the end of the day-- Basile Morin (talk) 04:41, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment - With apologies, I'm rescinding my support vote. I much prefer the original composition with the additional bushes, which is much more resolved to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:11, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

• Agree with that, too -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:41, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

•  I withdraw my nomination The sun was not "just in front", but rather on front-left (~40-50° anticlockwise). First version is darker that it should be, another too bright. Both due to postprocessing. I don't like the bushes, but I restore it in another version. But I have no time now. I will upload another version in the evening. Overall I do not like that picture that much and I hesitated to submit it as FPC. I withdraw -- Jakubhal 06:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Question Jakubhal, do you mean you made the first version even darker than it originally was ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

• Yes, I've made such mistake. Mostly because I focused too much on the look of the sky. The original was a little brighter and current version is close to the original. -- Jakubhal 18:00, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
