•  Support -- 😄 ArionEstar 😜 11:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Unusual sky color, but the reasons I oppose are the strange diagonal striations in the sky and weird things, like what is that brown thing to the right of the rider's head? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

  It's a dune! Hahaha 😄 ArionEstar 😜 23:12, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

• Then a description in English would be welcome on the file page -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

That wouldn't help me. It doesn't look like a dune. It looks like some artifact in the air. There is no visible depth beyond the edge of the white sand. Maybe the photo was taken during a sandstorm, but I don't find it a great photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

No, but "dune" is not "sky". Perhaps a description in English would have saved you from guessing an "unusual sky color" instead of the sand that appears in the background :-) Basile Morin (talk) 05:21, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I recognized what "dunas" would mean. Is there no sky in the photo? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:19, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I guess not. The texture of this sand cover is detectable in places -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:32, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

• OK, I guess I see that if I look carefully. I'm confused and will bow out of voting on this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:20, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

• Agree this unfortunate halo above the head, even visible in the thumbnail, is quite distracting -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:21, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Looking good enough to me. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
•  regretful oppose I don't see the background as a problem. In fact, I'd support in a heartbeat, as I love the feel of it. But that rock (or whatever it is) behind the rider's head just breaks it for me. --El Grafo (talk) 14:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
• @ArionEstar, Ikan Kekek, Basile Morin, and El Grafo: Here is a slightly retouched version, I have remove that irritiating something (and two similar small objects) from the background. Should we nominate it as an alternative version, or should we switch this nomination to the edited version? Hope it helps, --Aristeas (talk) 09:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  I agree to switch. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 13:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  Thank you. All voters, @ArionEstar, Ikan Kekek, Kiril Simeonovski, and El Grafo: nomination switched to edited version. Please check if you want to change your vote. --Aristeas (talk) 14:46, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Many thanks for the edit, Aristeas. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:14, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Looks like an album cover (maybe in the vein of Bob Seger's Against the Wind?) and makes me hear the Sundays' version of "Wild Horses" (better than the original IMO) when I look at it. Daniel Case (talk) 02:02, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
