  •  Oppose I like the scene but not so much the central composition for the, probably, moving boat. I would have liked if there was more space on the right side than there was on the left. Maybe the use of thirds would be useful in this kind of picture when it comes to composition. Then maybe the horizon would be positioned at the lower third of picture and the ship at the 1/3 from the left. Another problem might be the gray light which is why I'm not sure if the picture can stand out among the other FPs. I think I'm also seeing some chromatic noise which is a kind of a quality issue. --Ximonic (talk) 19:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose (edit conflict) Beagle channel is as far as I know one of the few straits/passages around the southern tip of South America near the border to Chile from Argentina. Not so easy to navigate through and narrow in some places. I do not understand exactly what the idea is with this photo? If it is to illustrate the channel it would have been more interesting at a narrow stretch, if it was geocoded it would be easier to understand exactly where we are. If it is the boat, which is the subject, it is way to distant and fills a too small fraction of the image area. Moreover, the frontal sunlight and haze to the background mountains is rather unfortunate. The centered position of the boat in the photo also makes it uninteresting to look at from a compositional point of view. The place in itself is interesting though, and I think it would be nice to have some photos from this area in our FP gallery. Just not this one, sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 19:55, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
