Neutral very nice but I'd prefer the version without the bicycle - that doesn't really add to either composition or motif --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:47, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CommentI understand and was afraid of this which is why I made the alternate after I nominated it.

I don't like the alternate as much for several reasons.

I think the tighter crop is less pleasant to look at and that the ground in front of the picture does add to the composition (the leading space itself and the random bits of broken stuff and litter), and it seems impossible to remove the part of the bike that covers the ground.

The bike definitely adds an imperfection to the picture and I would have liked to have an alternate where it's naturally not there but I think it's an acceptable imperfection, I enjoy looking at this picture over long periods of time the most out of all the pictures in my rotating background, hence I ended up nominating it, of course I am biased as I love that bike which gets me into all these cool places and brings some of the fondest memories I have whereas it may in fact just be an eyesore.

Last but not least I think this picture deserves a chance over the inpainted one because it's real whereas the other one has had a significant part cloned out, that process itself is an imperfection and it brings many.

I thought I would withhold the alternate for another submission if this one fails but it wouldn't be very nice to spam you over eighteen days with the same picture, so I'm adding it as an alternate. I'd much prefer if the original got promoted but the choice is yours. --Trougnouf (talk) 10:19, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OpposeWhy the bike? Charles (talk) 15:30, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Poor decision making. I like to include my bicycle, and I spent too much time (~90s) doing unnecessary exposure bracketing when I could have used that time to take a picture with the bike, one without, and a third trying to hold an acrobatic pose for 30s, or explored that amazing place further. (I highly recommend it if you are ever in Liege, it's an abandoned military base turned into public parc that nature reclaims, all within the city, although I didn't see any wildlife except for a cat and the first squirrel I've seen in Belgium.) --Trougnouf (talk) 21:05, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative (cloned-out bicycle and crop) edit

Info Alternative where the top of the bicycle has been cloned out and the bottom cropped. I would much prefer for the original to be supported if it is FP-worthy as per my lengthy comment. --Trougnouf (talk) 10:19, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support you're right! your original nom - without the bike - would be best imo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:32, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OpposeWhy the darkness? Charles (talk) 15:30, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's a dark place, still there is plenty of room on the histogram, I increased the exposure on the original but it will take me some time to update this one as I have to redo the cloning and I'm currently without a ~~mouse~~trackball. --Trougnouf (talk) 16:57, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done, I am much happier with it this time around and starting to like this abstract mess. --Trougnouf (talk) 21:05, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
