•  Info The western facade of Schloss Falkenlust smoothly lit by the setting sun. The Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces form a historical building complex in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.

•  Comment The lower right parts of the building and the stairs are in shadow. It's not small issues for this kind of photo. I think it needs argument.--Laitche (talk) 11:09, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

• Fair enough, Laitche. What I tried to do was to get a good shot of the little palace not too long before sunset (i.e. almost during golden hour). The problem with Falkenlust is that it's a) surrounded by trees and b) slightly facing NW, giving the sun a hard time beating the trees, even in fall. ;-) So I hoped (I believe successfully) to compromise: while avoiding harsh, boring midday light that would have fully illuminated the façade, I went there significantly later but still early enough to catch enough light to avert really dark shadows. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

• I know what you mean then if others are okay, I have no objection. --Laitche (talk) 15:22, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

•  Support I suppose their clock it out of time. --Mile (talk) 19:15, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I've read your remarks about the lighting challenges of this motif, and my reaction is: Not every motif can be an FP. Maybe this one will be, but while the Schloss is quite nice, I find the surroundings, and especially the dull gray foreground, boring. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:20, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
•  Support I even find something harmonious between the colors, light and shadows Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:34, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
