Info It's been a while since I nominated something almost abstract so I think it's time. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 22:12, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I don't agree with the angle, sorry. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:15, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok. No horizon avaliable I'm afraid, which limits the angles. It's in a bay of a fjord so the opposite shoreline with dull dark trees, is just above this. --Cart (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although, I have to add, it truly is a pretty cool shot. :) ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:22, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support A collapse becoming aesthetic -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:39, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised that no one has commented: "It's ~~titled~~tilted". :) --Cart (talk) 09:49, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because we don't mind the "title", we just care about the tilt -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nothing special, several pieces of wood and water (and rope, of course). Why this one for FP????? --Karelj (talk) 19:10, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since you ask (with five "?"): I could have said the same when you nominated a photo with tilted horizon and a cut boat and supported a photo with a fake background. I guess we have different ways of looking at photos. I find this aesthetic and you don't. --Cart (talk) 20:42, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, by my way of looking is the correct one. :) --Karelj (talk) 21:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose At least one can recognize a picture idea but why this should now be an FP remains hidden to me. As QI that would be ok but with such trivialities the author wastes no time. --Ermell (talk) 07:36, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ok guys, it's perfectly fine not to like a nominated photo but could you please do so without using a personally insulting language, that is not in line with Commons policy. Let's keep it civilized. --Cart (talk) 08:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment No need to be upset. I can't see anything offensive here. What I have written is true, isn't it? I think the picture is not bad, but it is presented on the wrong stage.--Ermell (talk) 12:56, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps what you meant to say in German was ok, but the way you wrote it in English, didn't come out quite right. Let's leave it at that. --Cart (talk) 13:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some here don't speak as brilliant English as you do, sorry if that wasn't translated in a meaningful way. I think the meaning has been understood.--Ermell (talk) 22:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Hm. I stared at it for a while to figure out if I can find any reason to feature this but it's not there. I see that there's a certain idea behind this picture (although I fail to verbalize it) but I think this could have been done better. Try black and white (ideally on film) and/or try a longer exposure (3 minutes or so). Then it could work. I'm sorry to say that the present photo looks just like a snapshot. Not among our finest in my eyes. --Code (talk) 09:23, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now that's the way to do it. Keeping it all factual about the photo and even give some tips. You are a credit to Commons and your profession. Thanks! Btw, long exposure wouldn't work here since the structure itself sways with the waves. --Cart (talk) 10:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This photo is kind of abstract to me, closer to this than to that for example. It's very much a question of feeling I think, because the quality is good -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is an abstract, even with some dynamics and tension built into it since you can almost see it falling. However, abstract is a touchy and volatile subject here on FPC and I usually get a lot of heat when I nominate anything in that genre, since it somehow seems to upset part of the users here. But sometimes something slips through, so I try since I like having lots of different kinds of FPs. --Cart (talk) 10:20, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like it --Llez (talk) 11:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
