Info Albert Memorial, Kensington Gardens, London, England. It was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband Prince Albert, who died in 1861. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style, it takes the form of an ornate canopy or pavilion 176 feet (54 m) tall, in the style of a Gothic ciborium over the high altar of a church, sheltering a statue of the prince facing south. It took over ten years to complete and was opened in July 1872 by Queen Victoria, with the statue of Albert ceremonially "seated" in 1876. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment Could you please remove the dustspots? I spotted six of them. Thanks --Virtual-Pano (talk) 00:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Done (or at least, I hope I found all of them), thank you! Poco a poco (talk) 07:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Question Out of curiosity - What is causing the 'star trails' on left hand side? I would not expect to see trails with 1.3s exposure time --Virtual-Pano (talk) 00:47, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- The longest frame has an exposure time of 30 sec. The problem when blending to HDR is that Lr takes for the EXIF data the first (instead of the longest, which is the last one) frame as reference. It has been a topic here before. Poco a poco (talk) 07:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support well balanced exposure and thanks for the explanation. Another lesson learned - Don't take exif data at face value — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virtual-Pano (talk • contribs) --Virtual-Pano (talk) 21:43, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

- Support Thanks for the explanation. Beautiful motif, photographed very well in beautiful light. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support even though as a personal preference I would like more space in the top part above the cross. Podstawko ●talk 08:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

but please remove dust spots- @ArildV: I thought I cleaned them up already, is it a cache issue from your side or are there still dust spots? If you still see them, can you please add a note? I cannot see anyone. Poco a poco (talk) 11:38, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- The newest version is from October 15. Did you forgot to uploaded the new version mentioned above?--ArildV (talk) 11:41, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Neutral The monument itself is quite alright, but a little too blurry and blown. But there is too much uninteresting sky. A vertical crop perhaps would work. --Fernando (talk) 19:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Understandable, but for the record I would ask Poco a Poco not to crop the photo. In this case the empty sky is important; it’s exactly the contrast (also in size) between the vast blue background and the golden monument which gives the photo its royal air. --Aristeas (talk) 09:06, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose a harsh oppose. But the monument is overall very dark. You are not helped by the lighting scheme but then you'd need to go earlier. It could also be sharper on the upper part, as this picture taken 15 years ago shows. - Benh (talk) 11:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- To be honest, Benh, I don't understand this feedback. If my intention had been to light it as good as during the day, I wouldn't had taken the image during the blue hour. That was a photographer's choice and I see no problem with that. Also, if I had focused on the memorial building like in the other image, the resolution of it would be higher, but again I wanted to capture the whole ensemble. Poco a poco (talk) 17:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hey Poco, just saying a few min earlier might have yielded a better lit monument and still the night light scheme on. A photographer's choice may not always mean mitigating circumstances. If you choose to take Mount Everest in the dark, I strongly suspect a few won't like it. About the resolution, it is the same as Diliff's. Just your crop is wider and I see why not you couldn't have achieved similar quality, despite your gear and software packing 15 years of progress. - Benh (talk) 17:58, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- btw, I do realise my comment is harsh. The picture is overall nice and I just share the shortcomings that I still see. I have no much doubt this will be a solid FP. - Benh (talk) 18:00, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
