 * Comment. It's a pretty view, and a good choice of view for an overall view of the town and its surroundings. But the sharpest focus seems to be reserved for the foreground, not the town itself. And are so many of the roofs really striped like that, or is that some strange color-banding artifact from the camera? It seems to happen preferentially for pieces of roof in direct sunlight at certain angles. Maybe it's a polarization effect? Or moiré from an interaction between the pixelization and the roof tiles? —David Eppstein (talk) 05:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment. I don't sincerely agree with your note about the focus. I checked the RAW file where the color-banding is also clearly visible so it is not a postprocessing jpg artifact. It is therefor a problem of the camera or the lens and I will notify Hasselblad. Anyhow in conclusion I don't feel that it is much disturbing. Cheers --Moroder (talk) 10:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment – IMO, too much foreground at left, and arguably insufficient DOF. – Sca (talk) 13:35, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Moroder there is some horizontal banding or posterization in the sky area. Your original upload doesn't have it, so it can be improved. The roof stripes are strange! It's a very high resolution image so I am Ok with the focus. On a different note: I think the infobox image here is a good candidate. Is the far field haze because of humidity, is it typical for this location or region? Bammesk (talk) 22:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - I'm actually ok with the focus. It looks fine to me. But that rooftop striping is a deal-breaker. Is something wrong with the Bayer filter on the camera? -- Veggies (talk) 23:12, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my nomination. Rather bored by picky observations.--Moroder (talk) 23:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
