•  Comment The quality is good. What I don't like is that the saturated blue sky is almost blinding in its strength and it makes it hard to enjoy the statue (in my opinion). If others feel the same way, this could probably be corrected through editing. The wow isn't outstanding but it's an interesting sculpture. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 08:39, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

   Info Thanks for the review. I know that this isn't a high-wow-image, but I decided to give it a try nevertheless. I didn't (intentionally) boost the saturation in any kind of way (just used auto levels in RawTherapee) and as far as I remember, that's how the sky looked on that day. However, if other people feel the same way, I can of course try to turn it down a notch. BTW: I kind of prefer the colors of the Yashinon lens I used in the other picture, but due to the shorter focal length I had to get closer to the statue so the perspective isn't as good. --El Grafo (talk) 10:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

  Sorry, I didn't want to imply that this happened through editing, it probably looked just like that in reality. I just think it would help to change the sky here, making it look differently than it did on that day. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 11:04, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

  No worries, I understood you very well. Just thought I'd provide some additional background information. --El Grafo (talk) 14:43, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
