Comment Good focus on the lighthouse, but very dull light. Isn't it too dark for 13:55:24? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)- Comment Agree with Ikan that the light is a bit dull and the contrast is overall too low. I have tried to edit the photo: here is a first attempt which adds a bit more contrast etc. @LexKurochkin: If you like it, you are free to use my version (I can upload it if you want), or you can take it as inspiration if you want to improve the photo yourself, … just as you want! :–). --Aristeas (talk) 09:58, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Aristeas' edit is more punchy, but that bleak patch of dirt in the foreground is still overpowering. It looks much nicer in the spring, when the fields are green and filled with daisies: [1] --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Ikan, Aristeas thanks for the review and the inspiration photo :) I'll try to reprocess the image from the original raw file this weekend in a way you recommended. Thanks a lot! --LexKurochkin (talk) 12:47, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Done @Ikan Kekek: , @Aristeas: , @Julesvernex2: Done. The image was completely reprocessed from DNG, I also narrowed crop a little to reduce visible impact of ground near the lighthouse. --LexKurochkin (talk) 16:37, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Oppose The background is still unappealingly dark and gray to me. I guess that's just how that day was. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:59, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Done Another attempt - new version uploaded. Well, I think it is close to the maximum we can afford without going far from "encyclopedic value" of the image --LexKurochkin (talk) 06:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for keeping at it, LexKurochkin. I prefer Aristeas' more contrasty edit, but that's of course a matter of taste. In any case, getting it to FP level seems like an uphill battle, as the conditions were not ideal that day. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:03, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with this completely, on all counts. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:34, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thanks a lot for interesting and quite useful reviews and discussion. --LexKurochkin (talk) 09:10, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
