  • Oppose This has technical shortcomings. It needs to be brighter, the midpoint of the histogram moved to preferentially lighten the darks, and a touch more contrast after all that has been done. Just as notably, the color needs to be de-saturated as this seems to be the product of a camera that has the “vivid” setting turned on, or someone post-processed for that effect. Since the subject is the power plant, it needs also to be zoomed as tight as possible. When all that is done, (which I tried), I ended up with a sterile-looking building and the overall effect still wasn’t eye-catchig—not for me, anyway.

  • Oppose per Greg... Plus I'm sure there must be a better closer angle as this is so far away that it isn't massively crisp... gazhiley.co.uk 12:17, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
