- Info The Citadel of Qaitbay is a 15th-century defensive fortress in Alexandria, Egypt. This photo, showing students on a school trip to the historical monument was created and uploaded by Summering2018; re-nominated by Frank Schulenburg --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support Love this image – that's why I'm renominating it after moving it to a different file name. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC) P.S. Folks, can we all please be more forgiving and civil when it comes to file names and nominations from photographers who are clearly non-native speakers of English?
- I have put the link to the original image above to make it clear that the defects mentioned are not an exaggeration in editing, but this is the nature of the original image, and there is no exaggeration in shading as is evident in the original image
- Would you allow to explain that to others? Summering2018 (talk) 01:45, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment It's a wonderful photo, but there is some CA that should be removed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:03, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks Ikan, I really appreciate your suggestion. Sorry, to be so insistent about the language aspect: abbreviations like “CA” in most cases also don't work for non-native speakers. @Summering2018: Ikan is referring to chromatic aberrations. Could you please take a look at your original file and see whether you can fix this small issue? Also, as I've just mentioned on your talk page, please consider reducing the vignetting. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:09, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- You're right, Frank. COM:CA is Commons jargon and shouldn't be used in discussions with people who might be unfamiliar with the abbreviation unless it's linked to an explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Because the chosen gallery is "architecture", I would appreciate that this image respects COM:I#Quality and featured photographic images section "Distorsions": Images of architecture should usually be rectilinear. The verticals are leaning in, on both sides. Also too much vignetting for my personal taste, and as mentioned above, chromatic aberrations to fix in the tower slits, battlements, and around the clothes of the students at the bottom right -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:28, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Basile Poco a poco (talk) 14:17, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
