Communal toilets, Robben Island Maximum Security Prison
  •  Regretful oppose I like the stark composition of a not often seen place in this significant prison. The ray of light/(hope) also seems appropriate. Unfortunately the technical quality is not enough for an FP, there is chromatic aberration in several places and it is rather grainy, but thank you for documenting the place for us. --Cart (talk) 22:46, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think the use of a tripod here is essential. For this kind of shot, the quality really needs to be excellent. Per Cart -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:06, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Cart and also in part per Peulle (the light isn't a problem for me). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others. This is very fresh in my mind as, like many attendees at this year's Wikimania, I went out to Robben Island myself as part of my effort to visit any nearby World Heritage Sites to any Wikimania (Cape Town has two ... this one and the Cape Floristic Region, which includes Table Mountain. And while, like Cart, I see the possibilities this offers, I also have to say this did not work out technically. We have the blown highlight up top, and the graininess and distortion.

    It's not the easiest place to take pictures, believe me ... with the exception of the political prison and one stop where you have a great view back to Cape Town, you're on a bus the whole time you're on the island, and if you can shoot from that, great, if not ... You also don't really get this part of the walking tour at your pace, either, you sort of have to move quickly. Daniel Case (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  I withdraw my nomination (@@Daniel Case: It has been withdrawn before last two comments.) Thanks for commenting that will be helpful in future! ~Moheen (keep talking) 04:51, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
