Oppose - Pleasant, but not special enough for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:05, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Comment Is the building leaning to the left ? Roof is not horizontal -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- That's really weird, the walls are absolutely straight but if you observe the horizontal joints, you see that it's the roof which isn't straight (horizontal). Between the photographer and the building might be a slight angle, too which would increase the effect. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:27, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Ikan.--Peulle (talk) 11:59, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose nice stuff, but you will have to change colors (temp) --Mile (talk) 08:33, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I think the white balance is wrong. Unless you are unfortunate enough to have a building lit by sodium lamps, then the white balance of the snow or fascia boards and sofits should be neutral. Also I wonder if you have rendered this brighter than it was. On the JPG, with Camera Raw, if fix the white balance, reduce the exposure by -1 or -1.5 stops and increase contrast +25, perhaps add a little clarity, then I get an image that looks like it was taken at 1am. The centre portion then becomes a welcoming oasis of fairy lights and is a lovely contrast with the very ordinary urban building and scene. Perhaps still not quite enough wow for FP, but an interesting photo. -- Colin (talk) 16:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I sort of like the symmetry and while I think Colin's suggestion is worth taking, I am opposing on principle because of my frequently-stated position that pictures of Christmas lighting displays do not qualify for FOP in countries that do not grant that exception broadly (or at all) to sculptural works (and even this seemingly random assortment of lights is still a work), and apparently per this DR Canada only grants that exception to permanently installed works, which this is not.

I withdraw my nomination Thanks Basile Morin , I applied a perspective fix and yes thanks Mile and Colin I applied a selective white balance and the exposure and contrast fixed commented by Colin and finally Daniel Case IMHO the main subject here is the House and the street and not the non professional light, however, you could nominate it to deletion if you think. Thanks everybody --The Photographer 17:55, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
