Question Brilliant picture, sharpness everywhere, sure QI, but where is the "wow"? --Arcalino (talk) 19:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It is an interesting question. Since the answer is subjective, it is perhaps pointless to try to answer. I like the picture for several reasons. Apart from that I'm in love with the classic ferries. The picture was taken in perfect conditions (before sunset a very beautiful day), the light is very beautiful and suitable for ships and houses in the background, the image shows an Istanbul typical blend of history and new buildings, it is a historic site (the first Ottoman shipyard in Istanbul founded more than 500 years ago) at the legendary Golden Horn, ferries are a typical symbol of Istanbul. It is just my opinion.
- Thanks for your comment. Regards --ArildV (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Among the images that we created ourselves is sometimes a special emotional relationship caused by the circumstances (e.g. the day, the light, the location,...) that leads us to think it is a brilliant image, but it can´t be felt in the same way by other (re)viewers. That happens to me too. Then I don´t understand why others can´t see (or feel) what I see (or feel). But it makes the reviews in Commons so valuable for me, because I can learn a lot from the other reviewers. Best regards --Arcalino (talk) 17:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
