- Info Detail of Wasserglockenbrunnen, also known as Wasserpilzbrunnen on Frauenplatz, Munich, at night. It was designed by Bernhard Winkler in 1972. I'm absolutely sure pretty much nobody in Munich could identify this fountain as it's neither important nor spectacular - though situated very prominently. I also had to google its name(s). What I like about the picture is its abstract, almost graphic concentration on details, accentuated by its selective focus range and tight crop. Note that although the image may appear deliberately desaturated, it is in fact not. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:30, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

- Support Special. --XRay talk 10:58, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Weak oppose due to light management (the brighter areas are gone), the subject is original, but the composition not stricking (I know that spot) and only one item is in focus Poco2 11:12, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Well, of course the lights are "gone". I mean we're talking about illuminating, bright spotlights. In the night. There wouldn't be anything left to rescue in post at all, not even by applying HDR techniques. I guess it's, as always, a matter of taste. I like both the chiaroscuro as well as the limited DOF. I'd also like to defend the composition that concentrates on one element, the sharp one in the front, but also presents its "natural habitat" in the background. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:01, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

- Support Interesting! Jee 08:56, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I am not convinced by the composition, the crop is too tight. Furthermore, most areas are out of focus --Uoaei1 (talk) 13:31, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per Poco and Uoaei1. There is a featurable image possible of this subject, but it is not this one. Daniel Case (talk) 16:18, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
- Weak support - agree with Jee in that it's interesting! ++ for creativity and level of difficulty in capturing a technically challenging image. Atsme 📞 15:54, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
