Comment Please explain what's unusually great about this photo, because I'm not getting it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:19, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Well, this image shows a donkey, which was a very popular attraction there since 2002 – it died in December 2020 and this is the only image on Commons showing it (all good photos are copyrighted). I decided to photograph it, showing its place of residence, which is a very important thing – this donkey was never used for work and it spent most of its life there. In this photo, there is an interesting light (at least in my opinion) – it emphasizes the texture of skin (hair) and the tree makes a pretty shadow on the wall of the Camaldolese hermitage (built in the 17th century). It's highlighting the main subject very well. The light creates a great atmosphere of a warm, autumnal day. The second reason is color – most areas of this image have warm, similar colors (mostly shades of yellow and orange). They are responsible for giving it a unique atmosphere (along with light). But there is a small part with a blue clear sky which is adding a nice accent. The third and final reason is the composition – the roof of the building takes up a similar part of the photo as the ground – they form a kind of frame. This composition relies mostly on horizontal and vertical lines - the gutter almost creates a common line with the roof of a stable and the lines of most objects are perpendicular. And of course, the main subject was placed in the bottom-middle to show its scale to the environment. Well, I hope these arguments will help to understand why I nominate this image. And of course, I like it very much --LoMit talk 00:26, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- They definitely do. I'll have another look later. Thank you! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:47, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support I love this image and I added a cut sugestion to the image to prevent distractions of the main scene. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:37, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Neutral, as in I would probably support with Wilfredo's suggested crop. Daniel Case (talk) 18:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)- Support The light and the peaceful atmosphere make this image special for me --Kritzolina (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support The long shadow in the foreground is quite dominant, yet I tend to support the image because the positive image characteristics outweigh it. In addition, the arguments and background information described by LoMit have influenced my decision. Nevertheless, the cropping suggested by Wilfredor would be a good alternative, too. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:48, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- I respectfully
Oppose, but I'd support the cropped version suggested by Wilfredor. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:12, 1 March 2022 (UTC) - Support The crop creates a completely different image. But I think it is important to see how the animal lives.--Ermell (talk) 22:23, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Sure. I just don't find the composition satisfying for purely formal reasons. I feel kind of suffocated by the top crop. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Shadows too harsh and I don't think the composition works with cropped roof etc. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:22, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Because of the shadow. --Milseburg (talk) 18:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral I find this an interesting and painterly photo, like a 'glimpse of life' if that makes any sense. But I do think a bit too much of it is in shadow and that the composition doesn't really thrill me, the donkey being centred in the frame is IMO not ideal Cmao20 (talk) 23:06, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Good shot, I like it, but I don't find it extraordinary, the lighting is difficult and composition or detail are not compensating that, sorry, Poco a poco (talk) 13:15, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Shadows --Uoaei1 (talk) 13:09, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support. I love the shadows, and I think that the in the photo there is an ecological dimension because of the animal in question--Lmbuga (talk) 13:45, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others - shadows... -- Karelj (talk) 17:06, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
