•  Neutral I like the composition, but i'm not a big fan of the "blue hour" in the best of circumstances and this image reminds me of Purple Haze. Call me a hippie if you want. Kleuske (talk) 10:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support. Nearly incredible but the pylon obviously is so curved. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 11:10, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support, but I would crop the buildings on the left. They are quite blurry and disturb the scenery. --Uoaei1 (talk) 12:10, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Neutral Nice quality and composition, but the non-straightness of the wires looks weird in my opinion. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 13:42, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Very well done. I wouldn’t decline with a bit less processing either, it looks a bit oversharp and "oversmooth". --Kreuzschnabel 14:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

  Kreuzschnabel: could it be that you suggest that it is oversharpened due to the texture of the rings in the water and the border of the pond? Looking at them I could come also to the conclusion that it is oversharpened, but it isn't really, as you can see here. Therefore I am not really sure whether I should reduce the sharpness.

•  Support Thanks Ivar! good catch! :) About the "making of" the picture I can say that my focus was to have a full reflection of the bridge in the water at the cost of having to use a 15mm. I will try to bring some improvements though (left crop), perspective, etc. this evening. Poco² 16:41, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose Prr DXR. Good picture, but "Commons" is not the good place for it, IMO.--Jebulon (talk) 18:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per DXR. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Info Following the requests above I have performed changes in the crop (both sides) and perspective (straight lines are now straight) in the RAW file. As the result is pretty different to the FPC above I opted to offer this version as an alternative. Poco² 19:28, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Poco² 19:28, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support This one is better. --Uoaei1 (talk) 21:21, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support ...but the scene is featurable once corrected. --DXR (talk) 21:22, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment This version has some color banding on the sky. --Ivar (talk) 05:06, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose in favor of first version, this one crops it too closely. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:10, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

   Support Good now. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:05, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Support I'd prefer this version - but could live with the other as well... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:58, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support --Böhringer (talk) 09:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Oppose As noted, sky has colour banding. The original seemed to have some posterisation too but this is worse. Is the sky pushed too much? I love fisheye but agree that the white wires are better straight. -- Colin (talk) 12:11, 24 September 2014 (UTC) Support now. -- Colin (talk) 20:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment The perspective is much better, a great representation of the bridge. But why is the compression so bad now? — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 13:28, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support Thanks for fixing it, looks great now. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 19:44, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Support --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 15:04, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment Will look into the banding problem today, I have corrected the perspective with Photoshop and transferred it back to LR. So, it looks like something went loss (evtl. 8 bit vs 16 bit conversion) on the way. Poco² 16:19, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

  Ivar, Colin: the colour banding problem is fixed. My LR crashed yesterday and some settings got reseted, among them the output quality (down to 60!), so no surprise that a file 7 times smaller file had such issues. Thanks Ivar for letting me know. Regarding the oppose of KoH regarding the crop I am not sure, Ivar, what do you think, should a upload a version with a wider crop? Poco² 19:03, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

   Comment Imho wider crop will be better. --Ivar (talk) 19:09, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

  I think this crop is fine. -- Colin (talk) 20:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

  I opted for uploading a wider crop, since that was Ivar's preference as nominator and actually also mine as author. I hope you understand, Colin. Btw, does it work for you KoH? Poco² 19:59, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Support yes, this is better! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support-- Arcalino (talk) 08:42, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Great! composition and physics now hugging each other, despite the small distortion of the cables at the top of the mast -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 21:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

  Lauro: Thanks for the hint! I fixed that in the latest version and also got rid of traces of CA in the picture Poco² 10:30, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

 Comment there is a strong chromatic aberration around the cables incorrectly corrected (usually automatically), this generated a greyish border around the wires can be removed with a hard work of cloning --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 11:33, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

True, the CA correction worked in some areas but was contraproductive in others. I reverted it and applied a selective CA correction to the top of the bridge, thanks, Poco² 12:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

• Poco², very good -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 14:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
