Comment but please note the typo in the file name ("Franzoesicher") --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:27, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Done, thanks for the hint, Martin. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:19, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Oppose The distortion on the dome (and even further in that direction) is just too obvious to ignore. Great image otherwise. Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Daniel. Just for information purpose: I've not done any perspective correction by software. It is not stitching but a single shot. I've photographed it with the Nikon AF-S 14-24mm at a full frame camera. As far as I know it is currently the best available ultra wide angle lens for Nikon. If your contra is just based on technical consideration I do not know what can be done better with a single shot photo. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:45, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- I understand those limitations. I've banged my head against them too. But if you can't make it work (this isn't a matter of perspective; the distortion is obvious even in the thumbnail), you can't expect people to look past it and support it here. Daniel Case (talk) 03:48, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Daniel Case, + too prominent shadow in foreground.--Jebulon (talk) 22:27, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- can you please point out what shadows are meant? Imho the morning light is quite fortunate here because it draws the attention to the buildings. Can you also point out how to make this photo better. There is a famous German saying: "Meckern kann jeder Bauer aber besser machen das fällt ihm sauer." - criticism is easy, making constructive proposals for improvement is not. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:38, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Most of the place is all in shadow, I think that's meant. Besides, Daniel is right, there is a distortion that can't be ignored. How to do this any better I can't tell you, though, I'm sorry. --Tremonist (talk) 15:08, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I know from my own experience that Gendarmenmarkt is very difficult to photograph. I think the only way to take such a photo in an acceptable quality is to create a multirow panorama. There's not enough space to get everything on the picture without heavy distortion otherwise. The other thing is that there's few time each day when the light situation is acceptable at all. Has to do with all the surrounding buildings. In this case I think there's too much shadow. Additionally the people all around are quite disturbing here, I think. An exposure of around one second would have been better aesthetically, I think. The sky and the composition are very nice, however. --Code (talk) 17:33, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose I had my complaints during the QI nomination. I accepted it as QI, but sorry, not for FP. --Hubertl 09:41, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination A candidature does not make sense anymore. Nonetheless: Thanks to the reviews - the photo is not good enough. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
