Support -- Paolo (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2011 (UTC)- Info The image looks a little tilted, but I compared it. It's an optical effect because the dock is not "parallel to the horizon". Anyways, I really liked this place when I visited, had great lighting and those red roofs in the same color are very nice. Hope you like it. -- Paolo (talk) 04:00, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Oppose Too few houses, too much sky and a little more sharpness, the picture would do well. Why ISO 320 and f/16. I think with f/8-11, would be more sharpness in the picture. --Ritchyblack (talk) 07:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- But the river is already a bit blurred, and higher aperture would mean more blur in the background, including the river, which was intended to be part of the subject. You are right: composition could be improved. But I would actually reduce the houses to have a better 1:3 ratio with blue(sky)/blue(river)/red(houses), and then exclude the crane on the left. That would be a possibility. Sharpness is better without noise reduction in the original pic. That is a matter of personal taste. I prefer smooth skies. But I'm open to suggestions -- Paolo (talk) 13:15, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- I would prefer not to see only 1/3 houses. My preference would be 2/3 houses, 1/6 river, 1/6 sky. That would put the ship at the (2/3, 2/3) focal point. --99of9 (talk) 04:13, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Support I prefer this way actually. I don't need to see 100 orange-rooved houses to get the idea. I like the far-looking style here. It teaches the viewer immediately that we're looking at a city by the ocean and reminds me by the sky that Spain is one of those places that is dry almost all year 'round. IMO this is beautiful, educational and less boring than just a lot of houses. BTW this looks more like 1/2 houses, 1/4 water, 1/4 sky as is anyhow -- One, please.
