- Weak Support It's good enough, but IMO the bottom is not optimal.--XRay talk 12:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support With XRay, bottom crop is rather tight, some shadows are too dark. But the monument in combination with the photographing tourist at the left make it imho an FP. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:59, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Neutral Very lovely and eye-catching composition, but I can't help thinking the crop is too tight at the bottom, as XRay has also pointed out. --Slaunger (talk) 20:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

- Support Thanks Tomer T for the nomination. I like the composition too! I'm on holiday this week so can't see the raw files to check what the original crop was like but there was a good reason why I didn't include more at the bottom -- perhaps a waste bin or something similar spoiled the view, or the balance of grass/wall didn't work. In terms of light, it was taken at dusk so the the stone is dark like that and lightening it would be wrong (though, of course, one may prefer it brighter but that would require a different time of day). For the sake of honesty (Martin, Poco, XRay, Tuxyso, Slaunger and Böhringer) I should highlight that some tourists were cloned out. See original upload, and there is a "retouch" template". I don't feel the cloning substantially alters the subject (tourists come and go) but does strengthen the image. -- Colin (talk) 17:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the hint, Colin. I have no problem with that edit Poco2 17:30, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- No problem with the cloned tourists here either. I noticed that in the file page history, as well as the adequate use of the {{Retouched}} template. Regarding the crop I did suspect there was a reason, but this is hard to guess as a viewer, who gets an immediate impression, so I will just hold on to my neutral vote, and if promoted (as it will likely be), I have certainly seen worse:) Have a continued nice vacation! --Slaunger (talk) 18:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- fine with me, too --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:31, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
