Info I thought this was a really good example of architectural photography - taking a motif that doesn't immediately seem to have FP potential and turning it into a beautiful photo. created by Aristeas - uploaded by Aristeas - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 17:29, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Oppose a good picture, but no wow recognizable. --Fischer.H (talk) 09:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)- Support Nice colors, I like the plants and find the bicycles add something to the mood 🚲 Basile Morin (talk) 10:03, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Basile, I thought so too. If it had been a car, it would detract from it, but the bicycles are in keeping with the setting and I see them as 'a feature not a bug'. Cmao20 (talk) 13:39, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Like canoes and paragliders, bikes are environmentally friendly -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:07, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Support Thank you very much, Cmao20, for nominating this photo and all of you for your support! --Aristeas (talk) 11:08, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice but not inspirational to me. The close crops of the buildings to the left and right don't work compositionally for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: I understand your remark about the crops. Of course there was a reason for the tight left and right crops: This is a fairly crowded place, therefore it was not easy to get a photo of the building without passing people before it; it would have been even more difficult to get a wider view without people. However, I have been able to provide a little bit more at the left and right, and uploaded a new version. In order to do so I had to remove some parts of people etc. from the bottom left and right corners, so a small part of the pavement and the wall (bottom left) is retouched; I hope this is OK for FPCs. The new version has at least the advantage that the gargoyle and the bust of Augustus at the right are intact now ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 16:47, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment Thanks. It's better to me, but I really would have wanted to see the rest of those buildings, or at least the one on the left, which just might not have been possible. Basically, I'm just looking for a composition I can enjoy moving my eyes around, and having just a bit of the buildings left and right doesn't really facilitate eye movement to me. I could easily be wrong to try to follow a linear arabesque in a photo like I do in a painting, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:05, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Weak oppose per Ikan. I can see what you saw, what made you take the picture, but unfortunately the differing heights of the adjacent buildings make the whole thing feel unbalanced. Daniel Case (talk) 05:11, 30 September 2020 (UTC)- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:26, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Confirmed results:
Result: 11 support, 3 oppose, 1 neutral → featured. /--A.Savin 03:39, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
