•  Info Many towns and cities have signs that have become a kind of landmark, this is Lysekil's version of it. It is the logo of the now closed seafood factory. This industry defined Lysekil for about three centuries but it's now all gone. The sign is among the first things you see when driving into town, it can be seen to the right here. -- Cart (talk) 09:50, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose A very sharp photo, but no wow --Michielverbeek (talk) 18:46, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Very sharp but I don't like the feeling of listing to the left. Maybe it's meant to be poetic, since it's the logo of a closed factory, but I'd rather see it horizontal. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:02, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

• I did photos from several (possible) angles and this one was the one that turned out best. The angle and the perspective makes the composition more dynamic than the other. You can see them here. The central strut of the sign is vertical and the rest of the photo is playing with the lines. The near horisontal shots looked just boring and a perfectly horisontal shot is not possible unless by drone.. --Cart (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

• File:Brand sign on the closed Lysekils canned seafood factory 1.jpg might not pass FPC, but it's the most normal-looking of the photos, I like it the best, and it feels to me like it gives the best sense of place and atmosphere. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:58, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

• Btw, since we are on the subject of sharpness here, that is all thanks to two other photographers here. :) Basotxerri taught me how to understand f-numbers for small-sensor cameras and Kabelleger adviced me about Adobe's smart sharpness feature. Many thanks to both of you! You have saved a lot of my photos. :) --Cart (talk) 20:08, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

• You make me feel proud, thank you --Basotxerri (talk) 17:29, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 06:04, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Okey dokey then. Thanks anyway. --Cart (talk) 09:22, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
