Support I like the composition, the colours, but especially the waves which are somehow "living", don't know how to describe it better in english. -- Smial (talk) 12:50, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks Smial for this nomination! I can add that this picture was taken just after the sunset (the time 21:43 is correct). Sunsets in Iceland are though a bit different. I remains relatively bright until after midnight during sommer. Taking this shot was also challenging due to the weather conditions, it was so windy that the wind pulled my camera + tripod away, so I had to put myself against the wind direction and in front of the camera to take this shot. Getting to this location is also tricky, I had to climb to get to this spot. Poc o² 13:19, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose. I appreciate the difficulty because of the weather conditions, but the picture is too blurry. Sorry. Nikhil (talk) 03:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nikhil: well, you cannot expect that the whole picture is sharp from the see to the stone below the camera, especially the stones in the foreground are unsharp, which should enhance the eyes movement through the sharper area in the background. Poc o² 17:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Some may call it "blurry", others call it "not oversharpened". I prefer images that are not oversharpened. -- Smial (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Poco_a_poco: I like the composition as a whole, but looking at the camera settings, for an exposure of 0.6 seconds, and against a wobbling tripod, because of strong winds as you mention, no wonder the picture is blurry. Couldn't you have increased the ISO and decreased the exposure time to say 1/60 seconds so that blur would have been mitigated to a great extent? Just a suggestion Nikhil (talk) 05:30, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nikhil: The lack of sharpenss that you claim, and for me is acceptable for this kind of shot, cannot be due to the a shaky tripod, since some areas are IMO sharp enough. In such a case there would be a lack of sharpness overall. I not only took this picture but a bunch of them of this subject and uploaded a third of them. Poc o² 13:07, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
