•  Info Basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afra, Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany. The catholic parish, one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in Germany, originated from the Roman tomb of St. Afra, which was martyred in 304. Its high bell tower with an "onion" dome, which dominates the city to the south, served as a prototype for the construction of numerous baroque towers of Bavaria. The church was officially elevated to the rank of imperial abbey in 1577 and in the anniversary 200 years later, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart held and organ concert. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 12:07, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Support per Cmao20; absolutely impressive! – There are some hard to spot dust spots in the sky (see notes); they are not important, I just wanted to mention them before anybody makes a drama out of them ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 16:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

  The spots are gone, I believe, Aristeas. Thank you for your review and notes. Poco a poco (talk) 17:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Support per others. (Parenthetically, it's interesting to see how much ghosting happens in 0.8 seconds.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:27, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

  Ikan Kekek: that's not quite right, the information in the EXIF file is misleading. This image is the result of 3 frames with different shutter speeds: 4, 0,8 and 20 seconds. For some reason I cannot help when creating a merged file from all 3 Lightroom picks up the fastest shutter speed for the EXIF data and ignores the other ones. IMHO the slowest shutter speed would be more accurate, but I don't know how to adjust it, if possible at all. I'm happy if somebody can give me a hint to fix this issue.

•  Comment You two always oppose each other's nominations, or at least as long as I can remember. I think both of you are just feuding and should stop voting on each other's nominations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:13, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

• Ikan Kekek: you are probably right, but the pattern is different. After he opposes my pictures a bunch of supports usually follow and even if I address the issues he mentions, there is never a rectification of the vote. So, he just looks for a minor issue to oppose and he nevers come back, that's all but constructive feeedback. Looking back to my opposes in his nominations I'd say that they are more grounded and following votes (at least part of them) consider it as valid. Poco a poco (talk) 10:33, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment To pour oil on troubled waters ;–) I have taken a look at the three annotations.
  1. Dialing down the highlights on the bright part of the roof is a good idea; I would just try that.
  2. The twisted tower-like building at the left looks strange, yes, but it seems to be twisted in reality, as other photographs and aerial imagery shows; so no change is necessary.
  3. The roof going uphill belongs to a very new building, I have found no image for comparison, but the most probable explanation is that the roof is really slanted (there are such roofs); so no change.

Hope it helps, --Aristeas (talk) 10:16, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

• I reduced the highlights on the roof. I agree with Aristeas the other "issues" are not. I haven't done any edit anywhere here. The building on the left is straight, the roof looks strange but it's as shown here. --Poco a poco (talk) 10:33, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

• Completely agree with Aristeas' review here - the first criticism is fair, the others seem to be genuine features of the scene. Cmao20 (talk) 13:32, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment I think oppose was with some reasons, as mentioned. Especially leveled roof seemed strange. Aristeas saw aerial shots and said it is OK. So i remove oppose (i was checking before too). Still think left side could be done better. Aren't we here to judge the photo ? All mentioned is/can be corrected. --Mile (talk) 11:00, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment The highlight reduction looks silly. The usual Lightroom effect of making it go a bit grey. Compare the image before,and we had what was clearly a very bright incandescent light shining on the roof. Now it looks like there is a grey light shining on the roof, which somehow defeats the laws of physics, by being able to remove colours from what it shines upon. Please, for goodness sake, revert. Sometimes really bright lights are really bright and the only way to fix that, if you think it is a problem, is to ask the council to turn the light down a bit! -- Colin (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

  I believe that I can find a kind of middle way here reducing the correction, do you believe, Colin, that I should do it after the nom is closed? I think so, but rather double check. Poco a poco (talk) 15:52, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

  • I don't know why you would wait. You didn't wait or ping the existing voters that you'd reduced the highlights. Why do you think it needs reduced at all? There's clearly a very bright light up there and we are documenting the scene. It is a little bit distracting but it is what it is. -- Colin (talk) 19:57, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

    • Ok, done, and pinging nobody... Poco a poco (talk) 21:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
