Reason
The Breakers is an historically significant mansion originally used as a summer home by the Vanderbilt family; it is currently a tourist attraction in Newport and the most famous mansion along its
cliff walk. This building is the quintessential American
gilded age home. This photo shows some of the great architecture in the 'summer home' while minimizing intrusion of people. This is the rear façade of the building; the Atlantic Ocean is to my 4 or 5 o'clock.

Seems to be quite oversaturated. Jujutaculartalk 23:40, 13 April 2011 (UTC)reply
?? I never played with the saturation. And if you start desaturating, you lose the great color of the stone. Propose an edit, maybe? upstateNYer 00:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)reply
The other photo is in shadow; the sun shines on the back façade (shown here). As for the grass, agree to disagree? upstateNYer 00:57, 14 April 2011 (UTC)reply
Support - It meets all the criteria in my opinion. Illustrates the subject about as well as could be done, good lighting, sufficiently sharp. I don't find it to be over-saturated.

Weak oppose. There are sharpening halos in a lot of places. --

Weak Support. I don't find it particularly oversaturated, but does seem somewhat oversharpened. Certainly nice at smaller sizes. To me, this is classic example of why bigger isn't always better... --

Weak Support Not over saturated in my view (on a calibrated display). Per jjron.

Too much contrast then? I'm no expert, but the colours don't look realistic.

They are realistic. I made no post-processing efforts other than correcting distortion. upstateNYer 18:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)reply
I do note that the contrast on your camera was set on "hard" for this photo.

Perhaps a bit much contrast, and the white balance is a bit blue I think.

Weak oppose I have to agree that it's too contrasty, and the white balance seems a bit blue as well.
