•  Support Two angels on my shoulder with this image - one wants to take away the doorstep carpet on the right to emphasize the blue theme; the other likes the carpet for the contrast it brings. Both agree that the image would benefit if the blip in the top right (marked with note) were cropped out. --GRDN711 (talk) 20:58, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Question How do we know if the white balance is set correctly in an image like this? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:05, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

• How do you know the white balance is correct in a golden hour or sunset photo? Light is always subjective to the mood in the photo. Anyway, there are white details (albeight a bit yellowed with age) in both light and shadow in this photo (electrical wire and landline phone detalis) and things seems to be very "accurate" in this case. --Cart (talk) 09:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

King of In the image metadata show "White balance: Auto white balance". From my point of view, the camera found everything very golden or yellow due to the golden moment and I try to correct it by adding too much blue to the image. Cart, relativist fallacy is useful for anything, which means that it does not serve to explain anything in specific. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:12, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Not really sure where you are going with that comment. I mentioned the white objects since they can be used to check the WB. Seeing "white balance: Auto white balance" in the meta doesn't mean anything since it can be altered in post editing. Btw, check out the other photos in the category, Flickr and the article Chefchaouen about these blue houses. There seems to be a global conspiracy about wrong WB for these houses, or else they really are very blue. ;-) --Cart (talk) 14:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Charles. The scene is nice, but the blue certainly bothers me a lot. --Domob (talk) 05:40, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment - I'm confused. Chefchaouen is known as the "Blue City". Does it bother you that you're looking at blue, or are you unconvinced the blue is real? I guess if you don't like looking at this much blue, it's a matter of taste, but if you look through Category:Chefchaouen, you sure will see a lot of blue. It's real, alright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:10, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

 Comment It doesn't look real to me on the picture, but I well believe you it may be true. However, even in that case, the blue tone doesn't appeal to me, so that this may be a VI or QI but not FP (for my taste). --Domob (talk) 17:49, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
