Comment - Beautiful, and certainly far superior to the existing FP in its category, File:Chateau de Chenonceau 2008E.jpg, which has severe posterization and should be nominated for de-listing. But I would love it if you could get the top of the chateau (by the way, the English word for this building) to be sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:58, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Overcooked and harsh light. I don't think the hard sun here has benefited from increased local contrast and strong sharpening. Btw, I think also there may be a camera shake or mirror slap issue as there is a double line round some high contrast edges (see the dark edge of the largest arch, and some of the birds, and the edge of some other dark shadows). This may be the cause of Ikan's complaint, which won't be helped by further sharpening. I think it would look better if not so strongly processed (at preview/browser size it just screams "Clarity" to me). See File:Schloss Chenonceau.JPG for a QI with softer light and more natural processing. -- Colin (talk) 13:00, 13 February 2019 (UTC)- Regretful oppose A shot I don't think any of us could have resisted the opportunity to take, particularly given the delightfully impressionistic reflection, and I think it could have worked even given the light, but when you look closely, especially at the left side of the castle, you see everything Colin saw.
