Rubjerg Knude Fyr, Hjørring, Denmark

Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture/Towers
Info Rubjerg Knude Fyr is a (rather famous) lighthouse between Lønstrup and Løkken (municipality Hjørring) in Denmark which was bulit in 1900. From the 1910s, the wind blew large amounts of sand from the cliffs and the actual dune formed between the lighthouse and the sea. The dune moved towards northeast and now has completely passed the lighthouse. Of the outbuildings only loose bricks remained. The lighthouse itself is expected to collapse soon. The Danish nature authority is planning to dismantle the building before it is going to fall into the north sea. It's a very impressive place and highly popular with photographers. I had the privilege to be there on a very calm and beautiful evening so I could take a lot of photographs of the lighthouse from different views and at different times. Although you won't notice it from the photographs it was still very crowdy there. As the authorities already expected the lighthouse to collapse at the end of 2017 this was probably my last possibility to visit this amazing place. I was there a second time some days later but it was so windy then that I didn't take my camera out of the bag at all because I was afraid to ruin it in the sandstorm.

Oppose for now - pretty tones, but that amount of blurry foreground with dips distracts my eyes too much. I've suggested a crop and may support if you choose to accept it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:36, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Contrary with Ikan Kekek valuable opinion, I would crop the sky and leave the horizon on the one third line on the top. I like the foreground as it leads the view into the structure with pleasante texture. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:43, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support very good. Alternative crops - as suggested - seem possible but they aren't necessary, imo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 21:37, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great! --Yann (talk) 05:58, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I generally prefer a wider crop for landscape -- closer to our vision and also 16:9 fills the monitor. I tried such a crop as suggested above, but either too much sky or too much sand. Actually prefer a 16:9 crop with equal removed top and bottom. It makes the lighthouse that bit bigger in the frame, when viewed fullscreen, but doesn't make any difference when there's no height restriction such as a thumbnail on a Wikipedia page. -- Colin (talk) 11:29, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral per Ikan. It looks really really good already, but the crop that he suggested would improve it a lot more, imo. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 03:45, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
