Info Mirror symmetry and sky reflection on the sea in Junquillal Beach, Costa Rica. --Gaendalf (talk) 22:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)- Info created by Gaendalf - uploaded by Gaendalf - nominated by Gaendalf -- Gaendalf (talk) 22:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

- Oppose The rock at the edge of the left side is partly cropped. There is no ocean waves (like in Gaendalf´s nomination prior to this one) that make this picture a bit lifeless, IMO. It may have mirror symetry and sky reflection, but considering the downsides, it just doesn´t cut it.--Snaevar 15:45, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Comment Snaevar, please don't be so drastic, this cropped rock could easily be adjusted. The waves problem can't be solved. That's really the interesting aspect of this part of the beach, so to say it's "waveless". As you can see there's a rock formation on the background that prevents the ocean from directly collide with the shore. Therefore this "pool", where the rocks of the foreground stand, is completely calm and allows the mirror symetry. A beach with this geological characteristics is quite unusual which makes the picture interesting and unique. I've visited a lot of tropical beaches in my country and until this last trip, I haven't seen a geological formation like this one. Please consider that. Thanks --Gaendalf (talk) 21:54, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Comment There is three different ways for me to answer that comment of yours, but in the end, I´ve have to choose one. See that geolocial formation there, it´s not only in the pacific, it´s also in the Atlantic Ocean, where in the United Kingdom alone there are at least 10 of those formations. Personally, I´ve seen many of those formations, and do find it quite ordinary, becouse of that experience. The waves are a more of a matter of taste, than techicality, becouse you could go with the calm looking and perhaps soothing look (that I think you have been looking for) or focus on the waves and the forces that shaped that pool in the first place. Finally, the rock to the left shouldn´t be there, and the reasoning about how easily it can be removed can be used both ways.--Snaevar (talk) 13:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- This kind of geological formation might be quite ordinary in the UK and other not-tropical beaches. But for a tropical beach is extraordinary. Finding a beach like this one in Costa Rica itself is a bit difficult, you can compare that with all the beaches' images you can find in this category. The only one I find a bit similar is this one, which I've visited myself and hasn't such big pools. I agree with you the waves concept is totally subjective. As I told you in this scenario was impossible to capture the waves because they crashed behind that rock formation, while the "pool" stayed calm. As you can see the rock from the left was eliminated in the new cropped version I proposed bellow. Thanks for the comment --Gaendalf (talk) 02:42, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Neutral I would like the rock in the left side to be cropped.. and I have the feeling that it is a little tilt (this can easily fixed). Ggia (talk) 23:29, 8 February 2011 (UTC)- Support Tiny piece of rock does not spoil this beautiful setting. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 19:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Cropped version[edit]
As some stated, the image wasn't approriately cropped, and I agree. This is my fixed version without the rock from the left. I also checked it and the horizon isn't tilted, as you can see in this image that corroborates that:
