Info View of the coastal artillery site Castillitos, Cartagena, Spain. It was built together with the coastal artillery Cenizas in order to protect the entrance to the Bay of Cartagena in the Mediterranean Sea. The construction took place between 1933 and 1936 following a project from 1926 during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. It's a Spanish National Heritage Monument since 1985. Note: there is already one FP of this site. Poco a poco (talk) 17:01, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Neutral Great mood and composition but the two lower bollards are visibly distorted. Daniel Case (talk) 02:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Weak oppose per Daniel, sorry, it's clearly a strong QI but for me the large and obvious distortions make the composition unsatisfying. Cmao20 (talk) 11:07, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, but the framing isn't quite there. it's confusing and "twisted". Distortion at the bottom is too visible. --Fernando (talk) 17:40, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Comment I would support a crop suggestion like the one I've added. It still has distortions but they wouldn't bother me so much if there were a more focussed crop that eliminated the worst of it. Cmao20 (talk) 18:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Cmao20, Fernando, Daniel Case: I've substantially reduced the distortion and cropped the bottom in the original file and, following Camo20's advice, I'm offering an alt version below with a different crop, thank you for your comments! Poco a poco (talk) 19:26, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Alt[edit]
- Support Alternative version with a tigther crop on right Poco a poco (talk) 19:26, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Support Yes, this is a lot better to me. It’s still distorted but not so much that it throws you out of the picture and makes you start having to make sense of how it must have really looked. I can accept this distortion as part of the compromises needed to get the photo, and I also think the composition is improved this way. You have sufficient resolution that a radical crop like this is possible. Cmao20 (talk) 00:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

- Support per Cmao20 – thank you for the very interesting crop suggestion, IMHO it also makes the photo more “concentrated”. This is also a very atmospheric photo, the two people on the bench are a perfect rounding off. --Aristeas (talk) 08:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I think the image is tilted to the right, well visible on the pylon of the power line and on the horizon in the hollow between the mountains in the background (I made annotations on the description page). All correctable. --Llez (talk) 10:10, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
