•  Info created by Michael E. Döring - uploaded by Tuxyso - nominated by Katernberger. The photo shows shaft 12 of UNESCO World Heritage Zeche Zollverein in Essen, Germany -- Katernberger (talk) 13:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Support. Great. --Julian H. (talk/files) 14:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Support I asked the photographer to provide this photo under a free license for WP-COM because I like it very much. IMHO in has a very good quality (D800 resolution, sharpness), nice composition and beautiful colors and shows an important place: UNESCO World Heritage. Compared to other photos from this place this one is outstanding and worth to become feautured. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:55, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
• Weak  Support Very nice, but I'd try is to reduce the exposure of the bright limelight on the upper left part of the structure, it spoils the symmetry Poco a poco (talk) 12:20, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Do you mean the part at the very top left? The bright spot at 1/3 from the top at the left side is imho good and represents the nightly lightning of the object very well. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:53, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose pro: High resolution. cons: Burnt highlight (as for poco), false colours (strong yellowish cast, compare to other photos in category), too tight crop, completely almost black background. -- Smial (talk) 13:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
  • You are wrong with the colors. Look at this photo File:Zollverein_Schacht_12.jpg. It was widely used on every Zollverein article and is even warmer than this one. The colors result from the nightly lightning. I know the building exactly and can say that this colors represent reality well. You are also wrong with the black background. It has a VERY dark blue tone. For me especially that dark background accentuates the nice buliding. The highlights aren't fixable in JPEG, probabably I will ask the photographer, but I think it is marginal and does not hide anything of the structure. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:46, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
    • @Tuxyso: Why do you prefer this shot among 33+ other frames available from him? JKadavoor Jee 15:42, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
      • I spent a lot of time for the selection: I viewed the complete set in 100% full res (still have them in LR) and after in detail viewing I came to the conslusion that this one is the best, especially regarding sharpness and colors. The photographer was first very sceptic to put it under a free license (due to the possibility of commercial use), I explained the idea of Commons in detail and in the end he acknowledged for two photos. Please let us NOT discuss if another photo might be marginal better. Please be satisfied with this one, support or not. I like this photo very much. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:18, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
        •  Support Thanks. I know it is very difficult and time consuming to review all those works. Thank you for your patience. JKadavoor Jee 05:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
