  •  Comment - It's beautiful but the lighthouses - particularly the closer one at the top - could be sharper (I wouldn't suggest sharpening the further one). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:16, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't mind sharpness at all: photographs are intended to be printed and watched hainging on a wall in an enough large format. If you print this phot you will never notice shar/non sharp details. Sharpness is one of the many possible creative tools, non-sharpness is one more creative tool. And i am surprised tha matter of sharpness is daily used as a benchmark for jusging a picture. I find the picture wrong in its overall composition: in this kind of photography painting composition should always lead: rule of thirds first of all. In a kinf of panorama photo pour human eye is used to see horizontally and a square composition doesnt fit. The rocky part is too evident and in shade: being the rocks the main subject of this compsition, rocks should be in full light. Too much uninteresting sky, which occupies hald of the photo; the beach on the low corner had been abruptely cut, killing the natural movement od eyes on the photo: a watcher might veel frustrated becasue the shore is cut like that interrupting the natural curve of the beach, which should lead the observer's eyes out from the picture. horizon is curved or tilted; you might use a rule and demosntrate its not tilted, but what counts is what eye perceives, not what a rule measures. The lighthouse up there is too small and gets lost in the composition; lets say the lighthouse was your subject for which you have cut the shore and the result is quite wrong. ALl ths IMO.Paolobon140 (talk) 11:58, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't have as much of an issue with the composition as I do with the light; the shade deprives the bluff of drama and gives it a bluish cast. I know it's difficult to get down there from Cape Town in the morning but it seems that getting here while the sun is on it could have made a huge difference.

    Also the color of the sky looks a little adjusted compared to the blues I got in my images shot in and around Cape Town on the same day. I know there was a bit more cloud further south, but I don't think it should have had that much of an effect. Daniel Case (talk) 17:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Composition is just great almost like a wallpaper, but the left half of the picture is not sharp.--Nikhil B (talk) 05:55, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
