Info View of the Hermitage of St Saturio, Soria, Spain. The baroque temple, one of the symbols of the city of Soria and dedicated to its patron saint, dates from the 17th century and was built on a deep hill by the Douro river. All by me, Poco2 20:39, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Oppose An interesting subject but a very ordinary photograph. Sorry. -- Colin (talk) 12:39, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Colin: can you reveal how would you have made out of this interesting subject an extraordinary photograph (under the same lighting conditions)? I am curious Poco2 19:09, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Well, "under the same lighting condition" is rather the problem. Poco, you know that lighting can make a photo. Looking at File:San Saturio reflejado en el rio Duero. Soria.JPG there is potential for a reflection photo if the weather is calm and the light direction appropriate. I think your composition has placed the Heritage slightly too much to the right. I prefer the arrangement in this photo. That photo also has greater depth and context, with the foliage of the near shore included, as well as the bridge. It is hard to know what it looks like at other times, but overcast lighting does make it harder to get people going wow. Obviously a building stuck on the side of a steep mountain is an unusual subject, though the building itself is a bit plain. I had similar dull lighting in my File:Old Royal Naval College 2017-08-06.jpg photo, which was a (valid) criticism at FPC, but I think it wins on symmetry, a more interesting view, and a more detailed building + high resolution. -- Colin (talk) 19:32, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Colin, the thing is that often when you have a tight schedule to cover many subjects in one day, you has have to come along with what you find. Poco2 20:11, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Sure, but I don't really see what that has to do with whether this is an FP or not. -- 22:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Colin. - Benh (talk) 20:03, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I have to agree with Colin. I can see what you were hoping to get, but it didn't make it. I think this needs a better sky and/or stronger light. Daniel Case (talk) 18:07, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
