•  Oppose It's interesting but I'm not wowed enough by this. The light is not very exciting and the bottom part is a bit cluttered. The open window in the middle provides an interesting feature but I don't find a meaningful connection with the reflection. Like there were 2 different ideas in 1 picture. Sorry for that - but please don't feel discouraged and keep nominating :) --Podzemnik (talk) 20:24, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
•  Info Thanks Podzemnik. The connection (or rather, disconnection) between the hotel window and the reflection is perhaps difficult to grasp without a bit of context. The hotel was built on the grounds of a 13th century monastery and mere meters away from the Fisherman's Bastion, seen in the reflection. The clutter you mention is indeed the feeling I had when seeing a hotel so close (this close) to UNESCO World Heritage sites. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 22:16, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment Taking that into account, the picture works, but you have to read the description – while an excellent image should explain itself. --Kreuzschnabel 07:53, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I like it very much, it's a fun juxtaposition of old against new. There's something in the modernistic regularity of the shapes and forms of the hotel that contrasts nicely with the monastery. Image quality is pretty good too. Cmao20 (talk) 23:23, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with Podzemnik Poco a poco (talk) 11:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment Consider a 2:3 crop of just the interesting segment. I'll add a image-note. The result might be a bit small (7.8MP) -- are you able to go back and try again? -- Colin (talk) 12:00, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment That's a very keen observation Colin, thank you. I think the resulting image is indeed less cluttered, without losing its main subjects. I've also taken the opportunity to increase blue levels a bit, in an attempt to bring the color of the sky closer to what it looked like that day. Regarding the resolution, I'm regrettably not able to retake the shot, as I have no plans to return to Budapest anytime soon. Hopefully a fellow local Wikimedian can do that :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 13:42, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment One issue though is that it is we have introduced a parallax error, as the original photograph was centered on the window. Retaking the shot would be indeed the way to go. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:26, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Support per Cmao20. --Aristeas (talk) 16:13, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Podzemik and Kreuzschnabel. Regretful oppose because the idea is interesting, but the image does not work for me. --Dinkum (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
