Detail of a window with rare original roller shades from the period of promoterism. It is part of the cultural heritage monument of a multiple dwelling with plastered façade in Leipzig.
  • It is difficult to explain without being rude. I think it is a poor composition of a mundane subject. Can it have architectural interest? - surely it would have been preserved. There is no 'natural decay'. Someone has recently slapped fresh mortar on the wall and some has gone on the metallener Verblendung at the top of the window. Looking on Google Maps Street View, there were much more 'original' walls and shutters to photograph. The top of the image is not in focus. The crop at the bottom is either too tight or not tight enough. The shadow at the left is distracting. Sorry. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for going through the effort of trying to not be rude. I understand how this can be difficult and time consuming, especially if one lists all the things one is not fully happy with. But how about adding just one or two of these points (e.g. Top not in focus, not ideal crop at the bottom, distracting shadow) to your objections, instead of the generic and arbitrary sounding "I don't get it"? I think that would help the nominator, photographer, but also the other persons discussing the image. Thank you again! Kritzolina (talk) 08:33, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
