•  Info Aqueduct of Segovia, Spain. Created and uploaded by David Corral Gadea, Atention - nominated by me, Poco a poco (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Info Note: this images ranked 2 in the Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 contest
•  Info Conseguir esos colores, esa definición de los ladrillos y ese cielo fue muy difícil y más teniendo en cuenta la hora del día en la que está hecha la foto. Faltaba poco para el anochecer y la luz del cielo era muy tenue. El motivo principal estaba iluminado con luz artificial. Atention (talk) 02:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC+1)

•  Oppose noise in the sky, + I dislike the composition very much, which does not show (to me) how beautiful and spectacular is this Roman monument. Furthermore, my personal (not politically correct) opinion is that the fact that this pic won a prize in the WLM could be another argument for a "contra" vote...(You know what? Shame on me, but I prefer some of mine of the same place, sorry ) --Jebulon (talk) 00:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Why would it deserve an oppose for winning? --Muhammad (talk) 01:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Jebulon, the reason why I proposed this picture to FP is that I was part of the WLM12 Spanish Jury and this picture was my favourite. I didn't just went the list of WLM12 winners through and picked out the next one in the ranking. Poco a poco (talk) 08:00, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
    • I can tell. I  Support too. Jebulon, this year you have made very good pictures of Spain, it would have been great if they had participated. --Kadellar (talk) 13:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
      • I participated hardly to WLM2011, and was at the same level hardly disapointed by the french and international results for many reasons (not regarding my own pictures). So I deliberately boycotted the 2012 WLM edition, and I'm stil not sure I was entirely wrong, no offense to juries, sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 22:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
        • I've added a link to the french article, btw.--Jebulon (talk) 23:07, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

•  Support Lovely picture! --Llorenzi (talk) 10:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Support One among a lot of good pics of the place, but still a good one. --Selbymay (talk) 11:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

•  Support Como he añadido en las notas, la imagen fue difícil de conseguir con las condiciones que se daban.--Atention (talk) 14:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC+1)
  • We all experience difficult conditions when taking our pictures...Nobody says it is easy...--Jebulon (talk) 23:07, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
    • Lo que quiero decir es que las limitaciones del objetivo y de la cámara en esa situación condicional la calidad final de la imagen en cuanto a ruido y aberraciones cromáticas, no lo justifico, lo explico. Es cierto que tiene fallos pero yo no he podido evitarlos, quizá alguien con más experiencia o con mejor equipo o con más suerte.--Atention (talk) 14:25, 7 December 2012 (UTC+1)

•  Oppose Lighting is weird, sky is too dark, just looks wrong. Neutral Still looks funny to me, but I guess it's a good photo. —Kelvinsong (talk) 00:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
  • As you can see in the registered camera data the picture was taken at dusk with a relatively long exposure (1/20 s). At that time the illumination of the monument was already on. Poco a poco (talk) 07:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
  • El monumento está iluminado por las noches con una luz amarilla-anaranjada. La exposición de 1/20 sec (0.05) y una focal f/3.5 consiguió que el cielo apareciera un poco más claro pero ya era casi de noche por eso el cielo está mucho más oscuro. Atention (talk) 02:31, 9 December 2012 (UTC+1)
•  Neutral I dislike the hyper-real effect, which is common to many WLM entrants and winners. In this case, much of the effect is due to the floodlighting of the aqueduct at dusk, rather than (I trust) excessive fiddling in Photoshop or HDR. Regardless, the effect certainly isn't subtle and not to may taste. Sorry. Colin (talk) 09:01, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Info I reduced noise level on the sky. --Ivar (talk) 13:24, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your help. Atention (talk) 02:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC+1)
•  Support A decent WLM image. Who knew?! Acceptable technical quality, interesting lightning and composition. Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 15:16, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Info I have uploaded a new version addressing the noise in the sky and the CA around the arches. Poco a poco thanks for your help, Atention (talk) 02:15, 9 December 2012 (UTC+1)

  Thank you, the quality of this version is flawless! Poco a poco (talk) 09:47, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

•  Neutral Per Colin. --PierreSelim (talk) 10:24, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Neutral the stones are grainy when viewed full size. --Pine^✉ 19:04, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice composition and Q is ok taking into account the large resolution. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 21:46, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
