- Info Gallery fixed. You need to really check out and find the exact gallery and section since the FPCBot is now sorting pictures automatically. Go to the gallery page and copy the page name and heading to get the spelling right. For more info see this. --Cart (talk) 10:05, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Comment Is there a way to clone out the crane exactly in the middle of the image? it is at the spot where the lines are guiding to. I also believe that the image is tilted. The inclination of the river from left to right is too strong --Poco a poco (talk) 15:22, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks you for your review, no to the both requests. For the crane, not that I'm not able to do it, but I find that kind of correction a bit "too much", and it is already very near to be in the middle. Sadly, when I took the photo, I had coppice and brambles on my right and I could not place it in the middle. For the tilt I am not very favorable to make corrections, I am very carefull to use the internal camera horizontal level when I use my tripod, and I remember very well to have been very careful that time. Furthermore I just checked the file in lightroom, I did not make a single corrections (and it is verifiable by the size of the image, as it is the full wide size), and the crane which is almost in the middle is perfectly straight. Therefore a tilt will: 1/make me crop the image (and the wide scene is one of the key here, therefore there is more to lose than to win)), 2/ that will tilt the crane, and as it is in the middle I will have to apply strong unuseful perpective correction to recover the verticals... and all that knowing that I am sure to have put my camera horizontal level perfectly straight... Sorry dear colleague this is a definitive no. I don't know by what visual phenomenon but I'm pretty sure that the camera was horizontal, otherwise why the crane is not tilted?

- I also think it should be slightly CCW rotated. Have learnt not to trust my camera level, so maybe urs is also faulty. - Benh (talk) 18:28, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- An horizontal line have to be horizontal only if (it is indeed horizontal in the reallity, and a lake bank is not the water level?!? is it? so why it should be horizontal??) you are in front of that line and you point your camera with a prefect 90°, hotherwise this horizontal line become... a perspective... this is not the sea, this is lake bank quite close of me and I'm not at altitude o, therefore the perspective exist...find an horizontal lake bank... Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:35, 21 March 2020 (UTC) and I still want to understand why the crane is not tilted. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2020 (UTC) and
- Yes I did check Google Map before. The far coast is not necessarily horizontal but it look "enough perpendicular" to us so that I think it should appear near horizontal. So I'm not really sure. Guess u r right. Sorry for disrupting the nom :) - Benh (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- No problem, it's a pleasure, sorry if I look a bit aggressive. It's simply that I don't do the things just because one says to me "do it", even if it have to cost me the success of a nomination here. I do the things when I understand the why of the how. And here I don't understand, if the photo (photo that has currently not a single tilt/perspective correction) is tilted, why the crane in the middle of the photo is perfectly straight. Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:21, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- No issue :) I'm fine with discussing facts. Here you make good points, that's all, so no more arguing :) - Benh (talk) 19:28, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- The benchmarks in photography are more often verticals than horizontals...., excepted for obvious cases, the sea level, and some architecture cases when you are sure that you are perpendicular. Otherwise benchmarks are in almost all cases always the verticals because we know that they are indeed vertical. Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:41, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

- Support I have no problem with the water. I have "slanting" shores all around the fjords here. That's the way Nature is sometimes. --Cart (talk) 20:02, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination I will still try to correct this potential tilt issue, and therefore the perspectives too, but I don't plan to do it right now. Thanks you. Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:51, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
