Info Letterboxes in the Californian desert
all by me -- Tuxyso (talk) 13:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment Technically fine but I'm not sure the idea has worked. The bushes are distracting and the stop sign isn't really related to the letterboxes. Such a landscape works better with a panoramic aspect rather than 3:2. -- Colin (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- The idea is simple: We drove through the desert for more than one hour and nothing was around us. Surprisingly certain traces of civilization appeared. The stop sign indicated: Stop, some people are living in this lonely area. The letterboxes are a representation for these few people who live in this unsociable area. For me this motive was very eye-catching and I really like it. BTW: I've added a landscape alternative - probably you find it more interesting. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support maybe color banding in the sky, but excellent.--Jebulon (talk) 21:06, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Done Thanks for the review, Jebulon. I made some local corrections on the sky. If you like, take a look if it is better than before. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:27, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Looks indeed better, thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 22:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support Nice motif. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:58, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Nice idea, but the composition is not the best: the letterboxes should stand against the sky, i.e. a lower point of view should be better. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:10, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Alternative[edit]
- Comment On the suggestion made by Colin I produced a landscape crop and added it as alternative. Berthold, probably you can also take a look if you prefer this version. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support I also like this landscape crop - is has a very different look. I cannot really decide which one is better. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support Per Tuxyso !--Jebulon (talk) 21:06, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Weak Support I think the balance is better in this one. -- Colin (talk) 21:32, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support This one is better, IMO. --Baresi F (talk) 23:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support Also good. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:58, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Better, but the bushes behind the boxes are still distracting. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with Yann, and simplifying the background (e.g. by using the sky) would have helped bring out the boxes. Or cloning-out! -- Colin (talk) 13:44, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yann, thanks for your comment but the viewpoint was intentionally chosen as it is. If you take a careful look you will see that the bottom of the letterboxes exactly match with the farer edge of the road. I can see no advantage for a lower viewpoint. Cloning out the bushes is imho no good idea - especially not from a documentary perspective. --Tuxyso (talk) 15:38, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
