•  Info The historic amusement park Gröna Lund in Stockholm founded in 1883. This images was taken 11pm handheld from a ferry waiting for departure (the only way to get this view of the park). Created, uploaded and nominated by -- Arild Vågen (talk) 11:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

  May I just comment how ridiculous of a time 11 PM is to be taking a blue hour photo? Gotta love Sweden... --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:18, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Very nice. I would have made it a bit brighter but it's only a matter of personal taste. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Although I am normally a big fan of your pictures, Arild, I think this one is simply too dark and therefore cannot be FP. Additionally I think the composition is not the best: There is too much water on the bottom and not enough space on the top and on the left. This should have been done using a tripod and an exposure time around a second. Given the conditions it's a nice photo, but not one of our best. I am very sorry. --Code (talk) 05:33, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Code Thank you for your review. It is not possible to use a tripod here, the only way to get this view is from a ferry. And the small ferries is not sufficiently stable, and it is also vibration from the engine.--ArildV (talk) 06:13, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
    • @ArildV: Ok, I understand. Given these conditions it's a decent piece of work, but as far as I understood only the result counts for FP which is not good enough in this case, I think. Nonetheless: Looking at your photographic portfolio I really envy you for your skills. --Code (talk) 04:23, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
      • Thank you for your kind words and I understand your vote.--ArildV (talk) 10:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Compositional issues aside, the lights at the top of the tower are too posterized. Daniel Case (talk) 05:39, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose A great photo in many ways, but many lights are simultaneously clipped and very dark, which is much worse in my opinion than if they were just clipped. — Julian H.^✈ 17:14, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Agree with Julian, it looks really odd to see grey light bulbs (Highlights -100 in Lightroom EXIF). Just let 'em blow! One definition of HDR is photography that can capture the DR of a light source, and this scene can't reasonably be HDR. -- Colin (talk) 17:18, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

As I said, better. Still a lot of clipping and a tiny bit of missing wow.  Neutral. — Julian H.^✈ 11:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

 Comment @Julian Herzog and Colin: Thank you, now I understand Julians review better. I uploaded a new version. I changed the highlights setting to -27, I compensated for it by using the local adjustment brush to make the carousel darker. The images is also brighter now (as requested by some user above).--ArildV (talk) 17:48, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

    • Weak  Support due to the noise, which should be reduced. A pity not having a tripod for that shot Poco² 09:51, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
