Oppose Needs a contrasting background that works on Llez's shells. Is this an artificial (replaced) background? Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:45, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for informing me. The background was classic white, but it can also be changed to black, here we are. However, I'll consider to withdraw my nomination, that is not my field of expertise.ː) Regards, Mister rf (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Info Pipe organ of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, Brussels, Belgium. The Gothic church is dedicated to the patron saints of the City of Brussels, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Brabantine Gothic architecture. Its construction began in the 11th century as a Romanesque church, replacing an earlier chapel, and was largely complete in its current form by the 16th century, though its interior was frequently modified in the following centuries. The large pipe organ in the nave was inaugurated in October 2000. It hangs as a swallow's nest organ at the level of the triforium, and has a total of 4300 pipes, 63 stops, 4 keyboards and the pedal-board. This instrument is the work of the German organ-builder Gerhard Grenzing, in collaboration with the English architect Simon Platt. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 06:42, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Info Cathedral of St. Florin, Vaduz, Liechtenstein. The neo-Gothic church was originally a parish church but held the status of cathedral in 1997 and is now the centre of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vaduz. It was built in 1874 by Friedrich von Schmidt on the site of earlier medieval foundations. Its patron saint is Florinus of Remüs (Florin), a 9th-century saint of the Vinschgau Valley. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 06:41, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support Impressive. I'm not sure why it is presented with a tilt, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:22, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Through these photos I took, macro/extreme macro, I try to emphasize the three-dimensional qualities of that object in the frame, to reveal elements that are otherwise not perceived by the viewer. It would be much simpler to make the classic version, fewer photos are needed, even without stacking, sometimes even one is enough, because a large DoF is not needed, and therefore the elimination of some processing stages, saves time, but some information is lost IMO.

Comment Agree with Ikan that the light is a bit dull and the contrast is overall too low. I have tried to edit the photo: here is a first attempt which adds a bit more contrast etc. @LexKurochkin: If you like it, you are free to use my version (I can upload it if you want), or you can take it as inspiration if you want to improve the photo yourself, … just as you want! :–). --Aristeas (talk) 09:58, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for keeping at it, LexKurochkin. I prefer Aristeas' more contrasty edit, but that's of course a matter of taste. In any case, getting it to FP level seems like an uphill battle, as the conditions were not ideal that day. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:03, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question Do you have another shot without man-made shore defences (if that's what we see)? Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:29, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes, I have one image with a different composition, I could nominate that later. --Peulle (talk) 10:41, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oppose Blurry foreground, impacting the composition. At ISO 100 this narrow depth of field could have been avoided with a smaller aperture. Also the light is harsh and the background hazy. Useful document but not a spectacular shot in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support I have absolutely no problem with the crop. The near-semicircles work just as well compositionally; in fact I bet leaving them whole would have made any ensuing crop look painfully tight.

Oppose I don't know ... I've seen and photographed quite a few inuksuit, in Canada and down here, and this one just doesn't stand out (in fact, it's hard to photograph one in a way that really makes it seem like you've never seen one before, even if you genuinely haven't, that might be part of the idea). Daniel Case (talk) 02:53, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Daniel Case: Thanks for your honest opinion, actually you are right. This was my first time seeing an inuksuk. Though this inuksuk stands out among others because of its height which is almost 30 feet making it one of the tallest Inuksuit in the whole world (The inuksuit can be as large as 6 to 7 feet in height - per "Parks Canada Directory of Federal Heritage Designations"). Though there are few in North America, I doubt many people know about them. I even asked my school teachers who were unaware of the Toronto inuksuit. --Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 06:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)}}Reply[reply]
Large inuksuit, you mean? Because there are plenty in North America, on both sides of the border. This is my photo that includes the 'suk at the Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife. Down here, there's the one at the Canadian embassy in Washington. And then someone built one one dry summer in a river near where I live.
I was thinking there might not be any in Mexico, but I was wrong. Daniel Case (talk) 18:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Daniel Case: The govt. website stated them as 'Large' you can check [2] . I tried to find out if there is any list of the tallest inuksuit, but I couldn't find any except the tallest to be 37 feet. Though they range in size from .5 meters (1.6 ft) 2 meters (6.6 ft) in height and up to 2 meters (6.6 ft) in width (per paragraph 7 ). So, this 30 feet tall inukshuk is definitely rare.--Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 20:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
