•  Support hier ist der theatralische Effekt mal nicht durch Software herbeigezaubert worden. Sehr schöne Stimmung und den richtigen Moment abgewartet. --Ralf Roleček 16:01, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice contrast. You don't see these kinds of days very often in SoCal. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:55, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

  Just realized this is not San Diego. ;) I would suggest moving it to a different title to avoid confusion. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:58, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

  I'm aware of the possible confusion (and agree any reasonable move), but in both german and englisch WP "Cap San Diego" leads to the page of the ship ... --P e z i (talk) 17:52, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

•  Neutral The light is very nice, especially the interesting black-white contrast between ship and sky. But two aspects are disturbing for me (one fixable, one not): 1. I would definitely crop out the part of the red ship at the very right which moves out of the photo. 2. Your shooting position is not optimal considering the background: The office tower at the right is nice, but parts of the ship hide an important church of Hamburg, the St. Catherine's Church. The best placement would be between tower and church. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:05, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Support Ja, sehr gut, I remember this one. --Ivar (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment i agree about the red ferry, it is disturbing. I would propose a crop. I think that the shooting position was the only possible, I have not been in Hamburg for many year. But as I rember, it's very difficult to find possible locations to take photos from on the south side of the river, and I (looking at the satellite image) see no option to take a picture from a better angle from a public place.ArildV (talk)

  As Tuxyso's and your proposal of cropping the red ship convinced me I've uploaded a new version (BTW also removed rest of crane). --P e z i (talk) 20:35, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Good work on the crop. I made up my mind and changed to support. The light/dark contrast is really nice here and colors come out well. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:42, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose too flat sea, too dark, chaotic composition and main subject covered by too many annoying things. Let us remember that we are in FP.--Pava (talk) 17:50, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

  FYI: The "sea" is the river Elbe at Hamburg and the flat water is the proverbial "calm before the storm". Darkness comes from a rising thunderstorm and was the mood I tried to catch. Composition couldn't be influenced very much if you look at georeference. And for the last point: You are right, I should have cleaned up the pier before taking a photo of the ship :) --P e z i (talk) 18:23, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I did not say that you've done something wrong, I just said to me why this is not FP, there are other applications on QI. could support it. --Pava (talk) 18:44, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much - but this IS already QI. --P e z i (talk) 18:53, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
