Info Manarola is one of the 5 villages of the Cinque Terre National Park on the NW coast of Italy. The village is located on a small cliff over the Bay of Genoa. It is backed by a mountain range that plunges 2,000–2,500 ft (610–760 m) into the sea. There are no FPs of Manarola which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Comment Definitely has potential, but my immediate impression upon looking at this photo is that while the town and the breakwater are nice, there is too much sky. The left side beyond the town also isn't too interesting IMO. I had a go at making [[:File:Manarola NW Cinque Terre Sep23 A7C 07233 (16x9 crop)--imehling (talk) 17:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC).jpg|a 16:9 cropped version]] using the CropTool that puts the horizon on the halfway line and the centre of the town on the left third line. See what you think. BigDom (talk) 06:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- @BigDom: I get your point, but crop removes the interesting patterns in the sky. I have another image from the same sequence that has less sky but retains the cloud patterns. What do you think of it? --Tagooty (talk) 06:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Fair point. Definitely prefer the composition of this one you just suggested. However, it would need a couple of edits to be ready for FP in my opinion - the buildings on the left are leaning in significantly and the texture of the sea looks quite strange. But a great motif. BigDom (talk) 07:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- @BigDom: Thanks for your suggestions. I've cropped the original FPC to reduce the sky and the hillside, while retaining the cloud patterns. This emphasises the village, but retains the impression of sky + sea + mountains that is characteristic of Cinque Terre. Hope you like this. --Tagooty (talk) 08:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Looks good to me, the best of both worlds. Happy to Support. BigDom (talk) 09:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

- Support. I like how the arch in the clouds corresponds to the arch of the bay. And I love the overall feel of the photo. Podstawko ●talk 13:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

- Comment I like this one, but the sky is posterized and needs to be smoothed out for me to support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:47, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Done @Benh and Ikan Kekek: I've fixed posterisation and reduced sharpening. Please see the new version. --Tagooty (talk) 03:06, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Neutral I switch to neutral. I'm not yet convinced to support it. On the other hand, it's too good to oppose. --Milseburg (talk) 15:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)- Support.--Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 00:35, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
