Comment Great composition, but isn't it a little bit tilted cw? I would absolutely support otherwise. --Code (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Comment I myself even thinking about it a long time, however it is a straight river bank, the right of the image is at a distance of aproximately 1.5 km and the left at 6km so it is a horizontal line taken in perspective. Of course I tried to correct that with the raw file, but when I did it all the buildings in the background were leaning to the left, and when all the verticals are leaning to the same direction the image is tilted. Here I did my best I think : all the verticals are straight and of more the real horizon (not the river bank) but the horizontal line just above the buidings seems straight. -- Christian Ferrer 09:25, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Comment this image is tilted. I tried to straightened it. My result: yes it is possible without leaning buildings. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 16:02, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Not tilted, the horizon is not the line land/lake (that this is a a bank in perspective), the horizon is the line sky/earth (perfectly straight here). -- Christian Ferrer 16:47, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Oppose sorry no wow for me: I see a lot of nothing. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 16:02, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- a bit as your comment -- Christian Ferrer 16:48, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Touché!, well countered ;-) The image is nice, yes ... but still not FP for me, sorry. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:04, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, no issues :) I was maybe a bit too optimistic with this image, there is however some potential with the sky reflection and the colors. A pity that I was not better photographer :) I think now to withdraw -- Christian Ferrer 20:31, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- No, it is only my opinion! Please wait for some another opinions too. It is also interesting for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:38, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Neutral It's a nice moody image. I think I can be improved with a little cheating like selectively brightening the bottom part of the image. As it is, the dark greenish bottom breaks the symmetry. Not sure what to think of the band of sand from a compositional point of view. It sure brings something into the frame, but I miss something. Can't decide. Neutral! - Benh (talk) 12:35, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you Benh, you're right for the bottom part, I brighten it and it's better :). I know exactly we miss : a good framing! the transverse direction of the cloud breaks the dynamics of the image that normally goes from right to left (what brings the central band). I so wanted to highlight this cloud, it became disturbing IMO, in fact a kind of paradox :). -- Christian Ferrer 14:59, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Support I keep coming back to this. Alchemist-hp is right that it's a whole lot of nothing but for some reason I like it! -- KTC (talk) 17:37, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination thanks for the support :) -- Christian Ferrer 12:38, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
