Dingle Lighthouse, at the entrance of Dingle Bay
The German term would be "Leuchtturm" (Lighttower) :-) I fixed the typo to lighthouse --Superbass (talk) 05:31, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Superbass. In the future, please wait until the nom is finished before renaming a file since it messes with the codes for the nom. I'll keep an eye on this and fix the links if this nom is successful. --Cart (talk) 08:26, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I had no idea this could be a problem. Thanks for the hint and for a correction if necessary. --Superbass (talk) 13:28, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is a very fine perspective problem at the tiny houses in the background. I have tickled a correction out of Lightroom using guides in zoomed view: Click. Unfortunately this costs pixels at the edges of the photo. I personally prefer the image composition in the candidate photo and find the minimal slant in some of the tiny houses acceptable, what do you think? --Superbass (talk) 15:18, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Proper perspective correction in photos taken from top to down is extremely difficult to get right and often distorts the photo too much, so usually it is not done. --Cart (talk) 18:18, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with Cart. When "looking down" the verticals slope outwards rather than inwards. When we "fix the perspective" are are pretending the camera was pointing straight ahead and with a very wide angle lens -- sometimes the distortions of that virtual-lens are then too negative in their own ways. I can only see the sloping when pixel peeping. -- Colin (talk) 08:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
