Oppose not enough 'wow' to me. Tomer T (talk) 19:16, 15 February 2013 (UTC)- Oppose like Tomer. --A.Savin 17:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose per Tomer/not really a lot of content. --Julian H. (talk/files) 17:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Question What "content" do you expect? It's a very typical photo from the Netherlands, all flat land. Luck that nearby Zoutelande are the highest dunes of the Nethderlands. I think the morning mood the fog and dew is content enough :) The house at the right is of a campingground (also very typical). There are not only high mountains and impressive rocks. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Little of the information you just gave me is noted in the image description, that's a small and correctable problem. But more importantly, I don't see any dunes and the house, composition-wise, is placed in the corner of the image and quite small, so as a viewer, I assume it just happened to be there. It definitely isn't a prominent part of the image. The problem I see is that about 50% of the image is filled with vegetation that is dark and has a high contrast. I don't see anything special there. About 45% of the image is filled with a sunrise sky that is, by itself, not more special or beautiful than any other sunrise. The sun is actually already relatively high in the sky. The remaining 5% of the image are filled with a house and a horizon line that looks interesting, but about which I as a viewer have absolutely no information. That's what I mean with no "content". It's not that I don't find the photo beautiful, I just don't see why it's special enough to be named one "of the finest on Commons". That's really all. If a majority thinks it is that special, I'm perfectly fine with this becoming a FP, I personally just think it lacks what I, for the lack of a better word, called "content" (sorry, I'm not a native speaker). There may not only be "high mountains and impressive rocks", maybe nice dunes or the sea or a well-composed scene with grass and trees would do. Or this can just be a really good, but not one of the finest images. --Julian H. (talk/files) 19:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your in detail clarification. I cannot change your "wow perception" and I agree with you that "Wow" should be definitely an important aspect for FP - much more important than marginal technical shortcomings which are ofter taken as a justification for decline. The reason for nomination was that I think the light and mood is quite special notably the high contrast between vegetation and sky (btw: the vegegation is not black, every detail every drop of water is visible). --Tuxyso (talk) 07:43, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
