is this an FP?
Schweriner Schloss
I've had a number of failed FP nominations lately. I really like this photo, but is it an FP? I think the composition is beautiful, and the form is very strong, with the streaming lines of the clouds and their reflections in the water. However, some viewers might object that the Schloss should be a bit sharper, one window is blown (I really hope that wouldn't be the basis for any opposing votes, though) and parts of the exterior are scaffolded for renovation. So what do you think, is it worth a nomination? Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:57, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
Honey and preserves
Also, what about this one, of honey and preserves? I really enjoy moving my eye around the picture frame, but will it be considered special enough? Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:09, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment@Ikan Kekek: IMHO, the first picture's resolution is a little too low to be sharp enough, and there is some prominent and distracting CA at the leaves of the trees, especially the trees on the left side. For the second picture, I can't say that I really agree with the angle (small distortion because of the range), use of a tilt-shift lens would be quite an improvement but not everyone has them. Definitely better than my recent pictures though, which for some reason are really unsharp and noisy even at ISO 100.... ― GerifalteDelSabana01:13, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
And never mind about the Schloss photo anymore. He uploaded the full-sized photo, and it's more obvious to me now that the quality is not close to FP level, and possibly problematic for QI. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:40, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
