Info All by me. Just another tower you know. -- Podzemnik (talk) 19:56, 12 June 2018 (UTC) The hexagon-shaped tower is on top of an elevetar going down to underground garages in Uptown, Saanich, Canada. The whole structure can be foound here. --Podzemnik (talk) 20:26, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
Comment The image is cool enough for me to support, but I'd want a bit more info - specifically about what building the tower is on. "Just another tower" isn't accurate enough for FP.--Peulle (talk) 20:16, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- You're right, sorry for that. I just read a comment like "just another view of a tower from the bottom" in other old FPC candidate :) I've added the description. --Podzemnik (talk) 20:26, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

- Support Of course!
-- Johann Jaritz (talk) 02:29, 13 June 2018 (UTC) - Support - I think I'd like a little more room on the bottom, but that's a beautiful tower and very well photographed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:38, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Alright, I gave it a bit more space on the bottom. --Podzemnik (talk) 15:25, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment The photo seems to be oversharpened with a bright edge around every dark object, and the effect is visible both at full size and at thumbnail size (this seems to be the case with all your night photos). I would recommend not using the "clarity" slider too much for this type of photo, as artifacts from that slider are particularly obvious against the smooth sky. I am also not sure about the composition. It seems to be not quite centered, but not sufficiently off-center for an interesting asymmetric composition. dllu (t,c) 08:12, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you dllu, what's you're saying is really valuable to me. I actually don't use the clarity almost at all but yes, the bright edge was caused by using too much of sharpening. It seems like night photos don't handle as much sharpening as day photos. And yeah, the composition was somewhere in the middle - I tried to give it a bit more space. Do you think it's better? And thanks again for your comment, I'm basically starting with a night photography and every advice is welcome. --Podzemnik (talk) 15:25, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Oppose Weird angle doesn't add anything for me (I like this one better), and the subject itself, while perhaps interestingly decorated, doesn't have any wow for me. Sorry. Storkk (talk) 12:27, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- No worries, thank you for the vote anyway. --Podzemnik (talk) 15:25, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support While the other image looks pretty cool too, if the creator thinks more of this one it's good enough that I will defer to his judgement. Daniel Case (talk) 20:26, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Weak support For me the interplay of the blue and yellow and black gives me a Wow feeling every time, which finally trumped concerns about the angle. —Eve Teschlemacher (talk) 21:07, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
