Oppose sorry, but there's some degree of perspective distortion. The image is also not really centered. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:18, 23 January 2018 (UTC)- Oppose Per Martin wrt centring and perspective. Also the image is lacking contrast and much of the facade in the dark. It is rather noisy which I wouldn't expect for ISO 64 so it appears the image was heavily underexposed (to retain highlights in the lamps) and then exposure raised in post. These Nikon sensors might be good, but that's not the optimal technique for architecture seen at FP. Also an image of a wide building like this is asking for a stitched panorama. Taking it with one frame means the edges of the building are soft where the lens is weaker. Our FPs of such a blue-hour architecture is typically multi-exposure multi-frame stitch HDR. The result is a noise-free image with fantastic detail of each brick and a better handling of the dynamic range of tones. For multi-frame stitch without HDR, have a look at Hugin, which is free. If you want HDR, then I recommend PtGui. Photoshop is ok at stitching landscapes but really doesn't have the control needed for architecture to FP level. -- Colin (talk) 09:06, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per others, and I would also like more generous crops on both sides. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
