Info created, uploaded, nominated by Slaunger -- Slaunger (talk) 22:32, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Info Encouraged by the discussion at of this shared taxi FPC regarding looking around and documenting something which is common in one location, but maybe extraordinary in another, I nominate this picture showing a couple having what appears to be some leisure time cruising in their boat on the canals of Amsterdam while passing a houseboat. A quite typical scene in Amsterdam, but maybe not so many other places. Lets see what happens.... Not my usual type of nomination. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:32, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Faces arent so sharp, but i like the view. --Mile (talk) 07:34, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Focus is on the boat about 1/3 of the way in, not their faces. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:16, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The background is too busy for a FP. Yann (talk) 10:20, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination After reading and also agreeing with the first comments, I believe this is just not FP level. Focal plane is not at correct distance, and background is probably too busy as Yann points out. Thanks for your reviews! -- Slaunger (talk) 10:40, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Post-withdraw question Slaunger, I find the houseboat very interesting, you don't happen to have a version with just that one? (i.e. the same photo but without the white boat) --cart-Talk 11:07, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi W.carter. No, I do not have photos of that particular houseboat as the main subject. but I do have quite a lot of photos of other houseboats in Amsterdam. I just uploaded this one yesterday, and I have more raws in my archives that I am currently looking through and postprocessing. Thanks for your interest. -- Slaunger (talk) 12:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Slaunger Ok, we'll see what else you upload. The interesting thing about this one is the water level shot of a houseboat that is more like a floating house and the light, the one you mentioned is top-down and not in a flattering light. --cart-Talk 12:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - W.carter Most of those I have with good light are top-down views. Most of what I have at water level are in shadow or of questionable technical quality. I'll keep looking. -- Slaunger (talk) 13:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
