Possible Featured Picture?
I'm thinking about nominate this photo to FP. I like it very much, but I want to receive other opinions before nominating it. Does it have any chances for FP? What should I change? --LoMit (talk) 15:11, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
It's definitely a nice shot. The sky looks good, the windows of the buildings reflect the sky, and the colors are good. The main reason I don't think it would pass FP is composition. It's unclear what the main subject is. It seems like you framed it around the circular fountain in front and the BNP building in back, but that part of the fountain isn't especially attractive in the shade and the focus isn't as good on the buildings. If the whole public square is the subject (and I think that it is), the framing seems like it could be better (and the light -- which is very bright in the distance). There's also some imbalance to the composition because of the large building and large, partially cut off tree also on the left. I would be curious if you could reshoot it from a position further back, or off to the left/right, or when more of the square is evenly lit. This is all easier said than done, of course. :) In general, I think you should be happy with this shot. It may be a VI for that space. But the composition probably holds it back from FP. Curious also what others think. — Rhododendritestalk | 16:25, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your opinion :). Now I can see more bad points of this picture. I agree that the main subject might be unclear. Maybe another time I will shoot a way better photo. Thanks --LoMit (talk) 15:55, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
