Original – The auditorium of Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona
Reason
The photo perfectly illustrates the architecture and layout of the main feature of the historic building. It is technically superb: well composed, brilliant colours, perfect focus.

  • Weak Oppose. I wouldn't say it's technical superb. In fact, it's quite technically flawed in my opinion. It's a really interesting scene and compositionally it's fine, but there is a lot of chromatic aberration on the sides, the stained glass is washed out and has blown highlights and the shadows are a little dark and muddy. I'm quite biased towards these sort of photos as I've been doing a lot of similar photography recently. I put quite a lot of work into mosaic-stitched, HDR tone mapped post processing to get my images looking crisp and clean, and I just don't think this image matches those standards. I'm not saying every image needs a similar level of complexity for me to support it, but some scenes such as this one, with stained glass, really cry out for that kind of processing.
