Palais de l'Isle in Annecy

Good picture, good lighting. I would like to get an FP on this.Dingy (talk) 07:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's below the minimum resolution and not very sharp. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In fact it's not below the minimum resolution (>1000px on at least one side), but it's true the quality's just not there. The sharpness is poor and there's lots of artifacting. This would not be fixable with this particular photo, but it's quite a good shot and I wonder if a re-shoot is possible? --jjron (talk) 12:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, I would favor cropping out the people visible at far left. I don't mind some people in the background, but random people in the foreground like that give it a snapshot-type appearance. The gutter in the top left doesn't look great either. No real point in doing a crop now, since the image hasn't attracted support, but the composition is really good so it's just something to think about if you re-shoot.

sorry I uploaded the wrong file, in this one the left part was removed, I had the same initial opinion. Please consider the second one.Dingy (talk) 13:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's even smaller than the original and doesn't solve any of the quality problems discussed above. Personally I find the composition more balanced on the original as well, though I do agree the people there are a little offputting. It'd be better if they just weren't there rather than cropping them out. --jjron (talk) 07:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
