~~Support~~ Despite the very muted colours, this works for me as an artistic photo showing serenity at sea, with the crescent moon providing a counterpoint. Unsure what others will think. Cmao20 (talk) 21:43, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It shouldn't be promoted until Basile's point is cleared up Cmao20 (talk) 18:15, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ Artistic shot! --Laitche (talk) 23:14, 11 January 2024 (UTC) Strong support ;-) --Laitche (talk) 13:28, 20 January 2024 (UTC) Even if without the moon, this photo is enough to worth FP, imho. --Laitche (talk) 13:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC) Withdraw my vote. --Laitche (talk) 15:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful atmosphere, this could be used as wall paper for a cafe or bar. --Kritzolina (talk) 07:39, 12 January 2024 (UTC) I can no longer support this, as the image seems to have been manipulated and this was not declared. --Kritzolina (talk) 15:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support~~ This is quite the view. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:37, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Fake. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great artistic picture. --Yann (talk) 11:05, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~* Support~~ -- Radomianin (talk) 11:13, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to our community members for their research. In light of the indications, which most likely points to a photomontage, I am withdrawing my support. -- Radomianin (talk) 18:14, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Due to recent evidence of misleading photomontages, I would like to use my dissenting vote to ensure that this well-made fake not will be promoted. Such a case is outside the usual retouching work and should have been marked accordingly. Also, it should have been mentioned in the descriptions and captions. -- Radomianin (talk) 18:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great. The very small dark part at the horizon at the right is a very little bit disturbing. (Geo location missing. Categorization could be better too.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by XRay (talk • contribs) 11:18, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, just a limited wow and usability for me (the latter also due to insufficient categories, missing location), and "merely artistic" is not enough IMO. --A.Savin 03:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per A.Savin, not enough interesting for FP nomination, IHMO. -- Karelj (talk) 11:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question Photomontage? Moon phase is supposed to be 67% illuminated at this date (28 August 2021 at 7:00 according to metadata exif), whereas this image is showing more like 10 or 17%, corresponding to a moon phase visible ~~two or three days later~~ another day. Thus I wonder if this moon is not a patch pasted afterwards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:18, 20 January 2024 (UTC) ~ updated comment -- Basile Morin (talk)[reply]
Thanks for the research, it's cool that we have this level of analysis when selecting images, it's really cool, I haven't seen this here in a long time! And if you're right, I will not hesitate to upload an image from the nominees, but it seems to me that the plus minus picture on the photo corresponds to the link you provided. JukoFF (talk) 02:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"when selecting images"??

"An image from the nominees", do you mean JeneChe's?

"plus minus picture on the photo"?? what's your idea?

Yes, fake moons seem to be popular with some amateurs, like in this nomination a few months ago. And today this photomontage has just been delisted -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:01, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The othe phtos have the time stamped on them, but this one is the only one that doesn't have the time stamped on them. Just speculation, but I think the metadata was wrong and the author didn't remember the exact time. --Laitche (talk) 14:48, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Fake image. There are more dreamy landscapes with similar planets and moon on the author's instagram account. The date was wrong (2022 instead of 2021 according to the metadata). And at this date, from Japan, the aspect of the moon is totally different, 66% visible on the opposite side. So definitely a photomontage with a moon taken somewhere else, probably not even visible at this place at this moment. So it gives a wrong representation of what it is, in my opinion. The title in Russian says "Moon and sea" and the picture was uploaded for the "Russian Science Photo Competition". Not really educational -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Basile Morin: Sea of Japan is the name of the sea, and without a geocode, it is difficult to tell if the shot was taken from Japan. But you might be right. Therefore, I'll cancel my vote just in case. --Laitche (talk) 15:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC) If you were right, it's fantastic fake skill, Haha. --Laitche (talk) 15:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, thanks, however the moon has the same aspect from the other part of the sea. The picture of the sea was probably taken from Russia, near North Korea. It's very easy to create such realistic collages with Photoshop, by using layers. -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, If I voted oppose, this was not promoted but I thought it was too late. Though, we can delist it soon. It will all work out :-) --Laitche (talk) 02:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done No worry -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:16, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please @JukoFF, Юрий Д.К., Famberhorst, Llez, and SHB2000: @Wilfredor, Agnes Monkelbaan, ArionStar, Ermell, and Giles Laurent: @Aristeas, Νικόλαος Κυριακάκης, and XRay: could you confirm your vote before we close? -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. SHB2000 (talk) 07:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
