Reflections of Elbphilharmonie windows on water
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Other#Germany
  •  Info The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg has windows that are designed to create an illusion of waves. In this picture sun-reflections from those windows are again reflected on the water of the channel below the building. All by Kritzolina -- Kritzolina (talk) 09:45, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Kritzolina (talk) 09:45, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose the reflections don't look interesting to me --Lupe (talk) 21:18, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Certainly a nice idea but does not work at all without explanation. If you’d find a viewpoint to get the building into the frame, that might work as a picture. --Kreuzschnabel 06:40, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support This works well to me purely as a composition, and the file description provides sufficient explanation to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:38, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Something completely different, like non-objective art. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:42, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Original nomination, but anecdotal motif, in my view. This chaotic pattern, lost in a flat surface, seems rather banal in its form. Technically, some parts of the luminous squares are burned out, with blue chromatic aberrations around. The building is not visible, so no link is explicit. Like a focus on an insignificant detail, or an ordinary phenomena captured, overall I feel there's nothing special out of there. Unbalanced composition with hazardous framing, and at full resolution the texture has not the homogeneous charm of this aspect for example -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:08, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 01:30, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Even though the discussion seems to be already decided, I want to give this picture some love. Because although the counter-arguments are plausible, I personally like this picture very much; obviously it is a matter of taste. Technically, the CAs could easily be removed; the fact that the highlights are broken out is not a bad thing in my opinion, since they are strong reflections that simply have to be 100% white. The decisive question here is whether the composition appeals to you or not. It has been called chaotic; that is not wrong, but a bit austere – one can very well sense the underlying window grid. I am reminded of some of Paul Klee’s abstract paintings, which also live from the fact that a grid is (apparently randomly) only partially filled with little squares of colour; and indeed the value of this painting lies in this, in the abstract composition that combines chance and order. --Aristeas (talk) 15:55, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
