•  Comment This is really a good light, a dramatic sky and an interesting three-storey building, isolated here with such narrow dimensions. However, the ugly garbage bags at the right are so visible, they ruin the charm of the photograph, in my opinion. It's a shame to cut that part, but I think opting for a square format is the only way to get a satisfying composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your review. It can be done, but the truth is that the picture doesn't have to be charming. Once surrounded by houses and industrial buildings, Chez Salah is the only building on a street in a former working-class neighbourhood in Roubaix, northern France, that has won the right in court not to be demolished. Still in use, it symbolises the resistance of immigrant textile workers in this area undergoing complete redevelopment.--Velvet (talk) 07:30, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

• Interesting. In my point of view the charm is necessary, and this building in a deserted area has potential -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:01, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support It's a fairly compelling image, and the story makes the file even more compelling. Could you add that information to the file description? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

 Done Thank you for your support. --Velvet (talk) 09:25, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Neutral Thanks. I don't think the rubbish adds something to the composition, so I would have preferred it out of the frame -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:55, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Impressive light, and I agree that the garbage adds something to this scene with its “lost world” aesthetics. --Aristeas (talk) 09:10, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support It sort of reminds me of a couple of album covers: Ringo Starr's Sentimental Journey and, indirectly Led Zeppelin IV (i.e., the front and back cover combined). Daniel Case (talk) 18:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support The light is what makes the picture special. In my opinion, the trash cans and garbage bags are as disturbing as the modern lantern. Maybe. Maybe they also emphasize the scene. But overall thanks to the statement of the image and the wonderful light there is a pro rating. --XRay 💬 10:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
