Info A firefighter stands outside of the smoldering Ethiopian restaurant Bolé Express in St. Paul, Minnesota on May 28, 2020. Created by Hungryogrephotos - uploaded and nominated by Gobonobo -- gobonobo + c 14:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose The photo was taken in right place and right time, firefighter's face shows interesting emotions, but the image has multiple problems. Composition is the most severe IMO, including cut off feet of the firefighter, partly cut off police officer, cut off part of firefighting car, looks like that the crop was rather random. The verticals are not vertical. The sky is blown out. Midtones are rather noisy. --LexKurochkin (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)- Oppose I really like the expression on the firefighter's face, but per above, the image is clearly tilted even in thumbnail size and the crop on the right is kind of messy. There is potential here though. Cmao20 (talk) 20:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Cmao20: I'd be interested in working on composition if there is potential. Cropping and rotation would be fairly simple, but I have no experience dealing with noisy midtones or blown out skies. gobonobo + c 22:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sadly there's not much you can do about the problems LexKurochkin mentions unless you have access to the RAW file. There isn't any point trying to recover detail in the highlights when it's just not there. Cropping and rotation would at the very least improve this image considerably and make it much more useful for visitors to Commons. Cmao20 (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination. I'll take some time to see if I can improve the image. Thank you for the feedback. gobonobo + c 16:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
