•  Info Former blast furnace #2 belonging the disappeared Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo S.A. (Mediterranean Blast Furnaces), located in Port of Sagunto, Valencian Community, Spain. The company Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo S.A (AHM), based on the Altos Hornos de Vizcaya S.A., was created in 1971 to serve the ferrous metallurgy in Sagunto. This blast furnace, the only one remaining of the 3 that were operating, is 64 m high and was first built in 1922 and remodelated in the 70's. It operated only 13 years long and after its restoration, today is open to public visits. Poco² 17:11, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment This architecture is too difficult to judge for me... --Laitche (talk) 21:49, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

  Laitche: I am not 100% about your comment, but let me give you some background information about the subject. There are only 2 preserved blast furnaces in Spain like this (one in the Basque Country and this one in Sagunto). These facilities are preserved because they are considered like a symbol of ferrous metallurgy in Spain some decades ago. Poco² 07:56, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

  No, that's not what I meant, I mean the structure of this blast furnace is so complicated. Consequently, evaluation of technical elements of the photograph is very difficult, especially distortions. I think for this one, maybe I can judge but this nomination, the angle is also difficult I guess it's leaning to the right 0.5 degrees but a reference point is only the lampposts so I’m not sure hence I  abstained :) --Laitche (talk) 10:49, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

  Ok, understood. Btw, we have a picture by Joanbanjo of this item from a bigger distance: that you can use to get a feeling or the proportions, and there are of course lots of pictures in the web. Poco² 12:30, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sharpness issues (see note) and denoise hallos. Maybe lens should be refurbished since you have same problem with sharpness on all photos. --Mile (talk) 14:16, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

  Thanks for your revenge vote Mile, once more. Some people have been critizing me because I didn't participate in FPC in the last months reviewing as I did nominating, and it is obvious why. I am happy to improve my skills thank to sincere feedback, and I expect the same from others. This kind of votes are just sad. Now to your comment Mile. It is the first time in my life that I hear the term "denoising halos". Can you explain that? With regards to the lens, I borrowed it from WMAT for 2 weeks during Christmas (my whole gear was stolen), so it is difficult to believe that all my picures have the same issue, but I don't see the issues you mention and in your note I cannot perceive any halos. Therefore I don't think that our WMAT collegues should be worried. Btw, Uoaei1, don't bother in figuring out what means splashed colors, you just suffered from the same reaction as I did.

• Poc You set the standards, i follow them. --Mile (talk) 19:58, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

  Then please argument your opposes to my 2 current candidates, that is what I always do in an extensive manner. Poco² 20:21, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

•  Support interesting subject and nice lighting. But you should fix the leaning the right... I saw it even on the thumbnail. - Benh (talk) 11:15, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

  Benh: do you mean that the right side is leaning in? what have you taken as a reference? the building (that would be misleading, look at the other elements)? Poco² 15:30, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

  • I mean both outer edges of the tower are leaning to the right, which leads me to think it's tilted. I think the tower should be the reference. - Benh (talk) 16:15, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

    • Now I got you Benh, you were right, there was a tilt, I uploaded a new version, thanks! Poco² 12:51, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment would better add the camera location if you can. --Laitche (talk) 14:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
