Oppose Sorry, great picture, but poor quality. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 20:12, 2 May 2010 (UTC)- Oppose Lovely subject, but the photo seems to show widespread compression artefacts, especially in the sea beyond. --Avenue (talk) 22:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Comment I think that the widespread effect is do by the storm... --Llorenzi (talk) 07:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how close the storm was, but the artefacts I see are not just in the distance; they affect essentially the whole image. At full size, it's blurry or blocky more or less everywhere. The sea in the middle distance is where I could see artefacts even in the image page thumbnail, but jagged edges around the archway are also pretty clear at full size, along with artefacts above and below the road walls to its right. This is a lovely scene, but I'm sorry, I think the image was probably just too highly compressed at some point. --Avenue (talk) 09:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. If it was your camera that caused it, all I can suggest is to shoot in high quality mode next time (or even get a camera than can save RAW images, if that's an option). If, however, it was the software you used to postprocess the image, and if you still have the original file from your camera, you could try to redo the edits and save the result with a higher JPEG quality level. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:35, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

- Comment Geocoded from the lighthouse's point of view, not the photographer's. --Avenue (talk) 22:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per The High Fin Sperm Whale and per Avenue. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 15:51, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
