- Oppose Nice image, QI. But to me not eye-catching enough for an FP.
Btw: Geocoding seems wrong (but that's not the point).--A.Savin 23:22, 16 January 2013 (UTC)- Geocoding is correct, the map is not very good. --Ivar (talk) 09:13, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm, what map do you use? I use satellite view of GoogleMaps and it shows me a road, but obviously not a river. --A.Savin 11:17, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Satellite map is not very good, because big trees are covering small river, better try this --Ivar (talk) 12:17, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, now I see it. --A.Savin 23:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

- Comment Dear support voters, please don't forget that FP should represent the "very best" of Commons, which means that - unlike QI - their total count should grow, at most, just proportionately to the growth of the total image count on Commons. In 2012, almost 1.000 images have become FP, far more than each year before. As we all hopefully don't want an inflation of the FP star, please, don't confuse FPC with QIC, and consider that a "nice image" or "good quality" alone is not sufficient to be the "very best". Thank you. --A.Savin 23:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- I know that of course, but I still think the picture is very good and represents the very best of Commons. I understand that you don't think so, but that's okay. Tomer T (talk) 07:53, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- Basically I mean some comments à la "nice image" etc. There's nothing personal against the author and/or nominator, pls. don't get me wrong. But several currently active FP voters seem never to oppose anything, which - as you may comprehend - I find a very problematic development for the FP project. Maybe it's a bit offtopic, but imho (!) there should be no more than ~400 new FP's per year; as nearly every FP deserves to be a POTD one time and a year has 365 days. --A.Savin 09:59, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- I wouldn't take that so dramatically. The number of images that are uploaded to Commons has also skyrocketed and less than 1000 new featured images out of ca 3.5 million that were uploaded in 2012 is quit a small number. When some people only give positive votes then they are still (hopefully) selecting where they give them (that is to the images they really like).
- When I started with the new front page in Estonian Wikipedia in September 2008 and needed weekly input, then for the first years that was really difficult to find new images (related to Estonia). For example I started writing articles about well known Estonian photographers and asked some example images from them. Later I moved to organizing photo competitions. Now the situation is so that there are more good images coming then there is room for them in the front page ... at a moment 60+ images are waiting for their turn as a picture of the week. So the situation has changed over the years and now we have much more quality images than we have had before and more are coming. Kruusamägi (talk) 19:38, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

- Neutral For me it is a bit hard to take a side as even thou I like the image much I am not sure that the sky is good enough. Kruusamägi (talk) 19:38, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
