Info South view from Slussen towards Riddarholmen, Stockholm. Created by ArildV (additional editing by User:MagentaGreen), uploaded and nominated by -- Arild Vågen (talk) 05:14, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Support -- ArildV (talk) 05:14, 26 May 2015 (UTC)- Support Everything comes together so nicely in this picture. Normally I would complain about rule of thirds, but somehow the composition works here. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:11, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Composition doesnt work for me, i would crop some from above. Choped bus in bottom and bus which turns left dont help much. --Mile (talk) 06:35, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Comment the special light lasted only a few minutes before it started raining again, it was no time to run home and pick up a tripod and no opportunity to come back another day. I was lucky that I had the camera in my bag. I used a railing as tripod and was unable to include more of the foreground (pointing the camera down had also given more distortion, its taken with extreme wide angle). I like the triangular shaped composition with Riddarholmen and the historic Riddarholm Church in the center. I think the sky is to beutiful to crop.--ArildV (talk) 06:45, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Question I dont get it, why tripod, is this a stitch ? --Mile (talk) 07:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- No, but long exposure 1/5 sec.--ArildV (talk) 08:00, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Well 1/6 - 1/5 could be handheld shot, depend on f. You could put ISO to 800 not losing anything, benefiting in compostion. Camera is good FF. --Mile (talk) 11:40, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Higher ISO would affect the quality, even with the D600. Especially if you consider that this image has large contrasts between light and dark areas. It requires post-processing of the dark areas (shadows), a higher ISO had given a lot more noise in the dark areas. The lens has not particularly good corner sharpness at larger aperture, therefore f/8.--ArildV (talk) 11:54, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Furthermore, I believe that it would have been a bad idea to pointing the camera down more. It would disturb other parts of the composition and provide more distortion, and the bus is not an essential part of the composition.--ArildV (talk) 12:02, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Maybe you are rigth, lens are often a problem, i dont know which you used, i checked now sky, it gave you banding and posterization (see notes). --Mile (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Even when I stare at the images in full resolution (22 MP uncompressed wide-angle) its very difficult to see, I'm not even sure I can even see what you're talking about. Anyway, I do not think it is a big problem and the overall quality (especially if one takes into account the resolution) is above average for wide-angle-FP.--ArildV (talk) 14:25, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Neutral Even in 1280px I can see the posterizations in the sky otherwise it is a excellent shot. --Laitche (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2015 (UTC)- Support --Kadellar (talk) 19:08, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support - Fine capture of a beautiful sunset at 8pm between Stockholm showers. --Pugilist (talk) 19:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support --Ralf Roleček 21:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Qualified support I don't mind the posterization since it's not the worst ever, far from it. But it does tend to point out how this might be better with more of the top cropped off. Stunning image otherwise. Daniel Case (talk) 22:24, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. I agree with Mile, the composition doesn't work for me. Although the sky is pretty, there's too much of it and it unbalances the composition. Better to use the rule of thirds I think. Diliff (talk) 09:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
