Support -- Tuxyso (talk) 07:24, 22 November 2013 (UTC)- Support --Ralf Roleček 08:37, 22 November 2013 (UTC) very nice composition. Schön harmonische Flächenverteilung und Linienführung.
- Support Very nice. I think in this case a cloudy day is actually better, because on harshly lit sunny days you can't prevent yachts from blowing out without losing shadow detail. Would prefer just a tiny bit more on the bottom, otherwise great. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:51, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Done I've slightly extended the crop at the bottom. IMHO it should not become wider now because the line composition (as pointed out by Ralf) especially at the bank should be preserved. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:04, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- Support Pretty pleasant composition. Well done --Dey.sandip (talk) 10:49, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

- weak support a bit low wow for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 14:32, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Oppose Good composition but dull colors. also there is not much wow to the image. Amada44 talk to me 16:33, 22 November 2013 (UTC){{Oppose}} Per above. —Mono 02:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC)- To the "wow" (cannot change your personal Wow perception) - but for me motive and background have enough wow - it's not an everyday shot (at least not for me) To the colors: I see no reason to artifically pimp the colors here. As the King pointed out: the day was cloudy, and the diffuse light and the structure of the clouds helps to bring out the surface of the yachts. I really like the soft light and soft colors in the clouds and on the landscape, further post-processing would destroy it. The light comes from my back and imho well lightens the scenery. @Amada44: Although it is technically possible to increase the contrast ratio of an image it does not necessarily help to preserve the mood of a photo (as your editing of Mono Lake) and to reflect the moment accurately as possible. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:25, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Tuxyso No, I don't think that increasing the contrast would improve the image. If the sun would have come out then I think you would have got a perfect featured image. Everything else in the image looks good. Just they lack of yellows an red from direct sunlight makes the image look a bit flat. Amada44 talk to me 08:31, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Amada44, thanks for your clarification. Especially for negative votes it is always beneficial for everyone to write a more detailed comment (as your last one). I guess (if King said) that with direct sunlight the whites of the yachts would have been problematic. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose No wow, unsharp. --Yikrazuul (talk) 18:36, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
- Cannot change your wow, but your assertion that the photo is unsharp is simply not true. Please take a more careful look on the photo. You even see structures in the grass and the single stripes from der American flag at the pier - so what is unsharp? This is an non-downscaled version in full sensor resolution. This crop has a resoultion of 12 Mpx! --Tuxyso (talk) 20:59, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
