•  Support -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 09:49, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
•  Neutral Not sure about the composition - I feel the lighthouse is chopped off at an awkward place, and its positioning relative to the background houses and ship are a bit uncomfortable. Nice detail and lighting though. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:18, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

 Done You're right, there was an imbalance in the composition, I've tried a new crop, I think it's better now, anyway thanks -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:56, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment Crop again, better centring IMO -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:00, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
• I like the current crop with the extra space on the left.  Support --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:44, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment -- Just wandering: why didn't you just take a centered front-view of the scene? To plain? Lack of interesting base highlight colour?Fotoriety (talk) 01:25, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

If I understand correctly your question (I'm not sure about that), you ask me why I did not take a front view of the lighthouse =

1/ Because of the sun light, with this centring the sun is in my back (with the front view the left half of the lighthouse is in a dark area) so why I did not come back at a different hour, because I wanted a photo with this particular light and also see answer 2.

2/ Because I wanted to include the entire boat in backgroud at right

3/ Because I wanted to compose with the writing plaque

I hope my ansers are good -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:10, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose Composition, nothing special. --Karelj (talk) 19:54, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, the quality is top but the composition doesn't work for me, the cut is to hard. I think though that there is potential for FP with a different composition. I'd make a picture of the whole lighthouse, like you did here but closer and laying on the floor to try to avoid disturbing elements in the background (houses) and stressing the nice floor.

•  I withdraw my nomination Yes, you're right, I've nominated it for the quality, but the composition is not working. I had come this day there to take exactly the photo which you have just described, but in my great disappointment they put a panel on the left of the lighthouse to announce a construction site and it was impossible to make an attractive photo of the whole lighthouse, then I contented with trying semi-close-ups. I live at a few minutes, I shall return when they will have finished the works. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 15:50, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
