Comment Any chance to get a bit more space on the left? The crop is tiny bit tight. Also, there are a few spots in the sky - some of them seem to be bugs but at least one looks like a dust spot. I've inserted a note. --Podzemnik (talk) 05:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
Done More space added on the left. It's almost sure there was no dust spot in the previous version, because 1) it was too small and too dark to be a dust spot, 2) I have a great technique to change my lenses to avoid dust when the body is open and I've never seen one in any previous picture, and 3) I've just checked my captor right now by shooting at f/32 on a white surface and the conclusion is also no dust spot visible here :-) But I've cloned out these birds which were not essential in the composition :-) Thanks, Podzemnik.

- Support Thanks Basile. One day, I'd like to see your "great technique" to change your lens :) Regards, --Podzemnik (talk) 06:57, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- I learned this trick on youtube a long time ago (video in French). The basic is to keep your body around your neck, and to prepare your lens in one hand like "in the starting block". As soon as you remove the previous lens, in less than one second, immediately you come with the other one, the body orientated to the bottom, so the dusts cannot infiltrate. It's a very quick operation, and you need good hands to catch both (sometimes heavy) lenses, but it's been working very well. And the day you have a single dust spot, bring it to the maintenance, and do the same :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- Nice, thanks for the video. I should start using a neck strap. --Podzemnik (talk) 11:09, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Support - I actually might want more to the right, but nitpicking aside, this is exactly the kind of appealing image that graces tourism brochures - when they're lucky enough to get this good a photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:13, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- Done More space on the right also, and thanks for your review -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. I do like this version a bit more than the last one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:30, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Oppose The light is fascinating but I don´t think the motif itself is extraordinary enough for a FP. --Milseburg (talk) 15:14, 26 February 2019 (UTC)- Oppose I tend to agree with Milseburg, a rather ordinary postcard. Sorry. --Cart (talk) 12:30, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
