Image:MarseillesRade.jpg, not featured[edit]

Marseilles' Roadsted

This picture was taken about five years ago. This shot is a unique vue of Marseilles Roadsted that includes Vallon des Auffes and Frioul Islands. This point of view can only be obtained from a few privates appartments.

  •  Oppose Sorry, but it is too small. It needs to be at least 2000 x 1000. Also, the horizon seems unnaturally curved and I don't like the perspective or composition. --Digon3 16:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Quality is not good either. Image is a little blurry and focus is quite soft (why this exposure choice?). Alvesgaspar 16:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info The quality isn't perfect, I know. But this picture was taken with a now obsolete digital camera. The horizon is indeed unnaturally curved. The perspective is the only originality of the picture. It is taken from a private building about 60 meters above see level in the alignment of two major touristic sites of Marseille : Vallon des Auffes (the tiny harbour in front) and Chateau d'If (the castle on the island). I'm not a photogaph (as you may have noticed ;-)) and I wish I could take this picture again with a more modern camera, but unfortunately I no more live in that flat :-( I don't know either if retreatment can improve the quality of this original picture (for instance correct distorsion or focus).
  •  Oppose Do I oppose because the camera isn't that good? Considering that film cameras are always theoretically available, one can't blame the camera for the technical problems. The photographer needs to choose appropriate tools. Not all pictures need to be featured pictures to be useful either. There are not enough mitigating factors to support. The perspective is the prime feature of this image, but the technical flaws would seem to overpower it. -- Ram-Man 03:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
