  •  Oppose no light nor the composition doesn't impress me and the tourists are not helping out in any way --Vamps (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • You can (negatively) review my photos for objective reasons - no problem, but calling this photo a "nice holiday snapshot" sound like an affront (as it would be for every other Commons photographer who spends a lot of time in good and well-composed photos) to me. Have you ever closely looked at the photo and got the idea of the composition? If you take a look into the appropriate Commons category you will find no other photo of this motive which compares to this one. Sorry, but at the moment I am a bit miffed about the wording "nice holiday snapshot" --Tuxyso (talk) 22:01, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I find here the same problems like with the shot in San Diego: no clear subject to me, the composition is not really applealing and the people IMHO are rather disturbing if you aimed to shot a nice nature-centered Yosemite picture. Poco2 11:51, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have also shots from the same position without people. But National Parks are build for people and for me they belong to National Park like animals and nature. I really like integrating people into landscape photos especially in the case when there are viewpoints which are only build for this species. At this point a lot of people stoped walking through the very cold Merced River and made nice photos with the river and the beautiful nature all around. The motive is the Merced River with people in Yosemite Valley with impressive rock formations in the background. It is surely a question of personal photographic style but e.g. this photo had not been that good without people. In the case here without people there is imho something missing. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:16, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination This image is obviously not eye-catching enough. I will try another one. Nonetheless thanks for the reviews and hints so far. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:06, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. For me the higher viewpoint I've nominated here is more interesting. Photos are always a matter of personal taste... The intersting part of FPC is that one gets an impression how photos are perceived by others. Oneself has a tendendy to develop a "tunnel vision" towards own work. Although unsuccessful FPCs are disappointing I learn again and again new aspects about the perception of my photos. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
