Info Puerta de Palmas ("Palmas Gate"), Badajoz, Spain. It was one of the accesses to the city of Badajoz through the former city wall. The construction was finished in 1551 but the last restoration dates from 1960. It's one of the landmarks of the city. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 21:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Support IMO half a stop too bright, but a big, sharp, good-quality photo. I like how you can see straight through the gate and along the avenue into the distance. Cmao20 (talk) 23:53, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Neutral High quality and great composition, but not the best lighting: the sky is too washed out and the statue is in shadow. Unfortunately, 2:25 PM on a summer day isn't really the optimal time to photograph. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:54, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- @King of Hearts: I've reduced brightness a bit, FYI Cmao20 Poco a poco (talk) 08:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Much better! The sky doesn't look washed-out anymore. Cmao20 (talk) 15:58, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks but I maintain that morning would have been a better time to photograph this. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 13:41, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Support May be contrast could be improved. --XRay talk 09:04, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

The sky has dark lines above the left tower.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 07:11, 15 September 2020 (UTC)Oppose
- you hold a grudge against Poco or something? - Benh (talk) 07:47, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Be careful and speak politely. The sky has a problem that is caused by edit not naturally.I appreciate if you just talk about the picture. --Amir Pashaei (talk) 09:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Don't try to make it the other way round. We aren't stupid and you won't get nowhere playing it that way. And I don't infringe any rule so you'll have to bear with that. I don't see the problem. Or would u be kind to show it.- Benh (talk) 12:08, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Amir Pashaei, I think Benh‘s point is that out of every picture on this page right now you have chosen to oppose only two, both of which are Poco’s photos. I respect your critique and for what it’s worth I actually don’t think this is one of Poco’s best pictures, although it continues at FP level to me. But it is a bit odd that all your votes are support votes except for two opposes both on Poco’s material, especially since there are some much, much worse photos than those two on this page at the moment. Cmao20 (talk) 14:08, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Indeed there is a visible pattern here, probably the price for voting what I believe is right (and opposing pictures often). It would be easy to become everybody's friend. But now let's get back to Benh's question, maybe we all oversaw something. Amir Pashaei What is wrong with the image? Poco a poco (talk) 14:37, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Benh: , @Cmao20: , @Poco a poco: I added a note in the picture. zoom your image in this section and shift picture to the left and right. you can see the lines.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 14:47, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Cmao20: , @Benh: , I most judge pictures those near to architectural photography or landscape, On the other hand, Benh and others agreed with me in the statues problem in the other Paco's picture. I supported couple days ago an interior church's picture by Paco, but I think this picture captured in bad time with high contrast. he has tried to improving it In editing process, but in my opinion the sky isn't proper for FP.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 15:12, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Amir Pashaei how could I have managed those "lines" (to me the shape is rather that of a cloud) through (poor) editing? do you have at least a theory for that? or do you think that I just edit skies for fun or have no clue about editing tools? You don't need to answer that, I'll spare you a nonsense answer. The delta in the luminosity of some parts of the sky are due to clouds and the fact that the sun was above them and lit the sky/scene not uniformly. Your statement "he has tried to improving it In editing process" is just wrong andb if not viciousb disrespectful and unfair. Btw my nickname here is not Paco, nobody calls me that, please, call my by my real name or my nickname. Now coming back to your critique. I had to move the image left to right to see "anything" for which you are opposing. It's in fact that you are not applying the same criteria to judge my images as you do with those from others. But don't worry, you can expect from me also rigorous (but fair not this kind of bullshit) reviews. --Poco a poco (talk) 18:51, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- You took the picture in bad time with high contrast. You could have taken this picture a few hours later. But in this situation You could have taken 5 or 7 pictures on 3pod to have more dynamic range and more control on the monument and the sky Simultaneous in Photoshop. strongest sensors have weak dynamic range Compared to the human eye. in a bright situation like this if you take one picture and in the Photoshop try to fix poor dynamic range by editing, you have this lines in the sky. or if you take a few pictures those close together in the light you can't recover the form of statues in the edit process. I learned a lot from you and other judges in FP from last year until now and this can be seen in my works. if you don't like I will not criticize your photos dear delso.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 19:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Taking to you is like talking to a wall. There were clouds and there was a sun behind them that's why the sky is not plain, that has nothing to do with editing. The purpose of bracketing is increasing the dynamic range, which wasn't necessary here, as it isn't necessary in 99,9% of outdoors shots (building intereriors is of course a different animal) and not getting rid of deltas in the luminosity. Don't call me Paco, don't call me Silva (WTF?), call me "Poco a poco", is that so hard? Poco a poco (talk) 18:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- We have some clouds in the picture but we don't see this pattern of shades under them. I didn't see this pattern in the sky in my pictures with Similar conditions.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 18:49, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Amir Pashaei: I have some clounds in the picture and I see that due to the luminosity below them is lower and in areas where the rays of the sun find no obstacles. That's not just a fact, it does indeed make sense. To hopefully end this discussion I uploaded the sky of that image, see here. Poco a poco (talk) 09:26, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- I still don't like your sky. but I canceled my oppose.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 10:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Neutral I think you've done the best of a bad lighting situation, however i feel a better picture could have been taken at a different time --Muhammad (talk) 12:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
