Info Panorama of Cologne as seen from the Rhine near the Kranhäuser. There was a previous nom years ago - I've tried to address some issues brought up then. I still like the image very much, especially for its colors. All by me, --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:51, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Neutral The image isn't convincing me entirely, maybe because there's a lot of dark foreground. Further, although it sounds absurd, the clouds on the upper right corner are distracting me in some way. But overall, it's a nice shot. --Basotxerri (talk) 20:05, 10 February 2018 (UTC)- weak Support Also to me the dark foreground is distracting the image, but the left bank of the Rhein is very nicely shot. Maybe you could try this image again from a few steps further to the shores avoiding the black grass to appear in the image? --Granada (talk) 20:18, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
Comment seems the same as the previous nomination. Charles (talk) 22:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC)- Comment Very nice buildings, very bothering foreground -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:00, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- Neutral Looks kind of oversharpened. But without the full metadata telling us the exposure time, I have no way of judging whether this might have been necessary or not. Daniel Case (talk) 05:09, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- well, Daniel, this is an HDR and unfortunately I don’t recall the three exposure times used. –Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:14, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Oppose I totally get the lure of the panorama and with structures as cool as those buildings and the brigde, it's hard to resist. But when you have to wrestle with a cumbersome foreground like this, it's better to give in and make two photos instead: one of those fantastic buildings from this point and one of the bridge from a place a bit further to the right. Unless you have a friend who's into fly fishing and you can borrow his gear. :) Unfortunately, not all fantastic panoramas are easily transformed from real life to paper/screen. --cart-Talk 12:12, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination. You're right. I'll try again later this year. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 15:54, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
