Oppose a little too simple, something is missing Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully no slab :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 21:47, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

very weak oppose Sorry Basile but I think I agree with Christian Ferrer here. It's pretty, and the golden-hour light is nice, but there really isn't a lot to look at except the reflections, which we see a lot of here. And I don't get anything special in terms of composition, with the symmetrical reflections not really providing much tension. If I were to shoot this scene I would have placed the boats at the bottom-right of the composition on an intersecting third. I have provided an image note on the nomination page to show what I mean. That crop would be FP to me, this perhaps not. Cmao20 (talk) 18:45, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I love this current composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 19:09, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"very weak" wikicode

Non valid vote, the « weak oppose » template is not admitted (please read the rules)--Jebulon (talk) 17:01, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Jebulon, you have been away a while (welcome back!!!) and during that time a new bright programmer has fixed the code and everything with the FPC Bot so that we can now use all of these 'weak' and 'strong' voting templates. If you look in the archive of the talk page to this forum, and my talk page archive, you will see it all. All the best, --Cart (talk) 17:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[[User:--Jebulon (talk) 11:42, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Jebulon|Jebulon]] indirectly makes an interesting point actually. Since we are allowed to use these templates now, should the rules be updated to say that the weak/strong templates can be used at the discretion of the voter? Cmao20 (talk) 19:19, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need to add them to the official guidelines. They might confuse people into thinking that you can put in "½" vote or "1½" vote. They are counted as just normal votes and are more like colorful and conversational voting templates. They were included into the new code because people were using them despite the earlier "not working" to save us all from a lot of explaining and correcting of votes. The original 's', 'o' and 'n' are still preferred. --Cart (talk) 19:44, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I guess you are right. I think on English Wikipedia, at least at one stage 'weak' support/oppose actually did count as half a vote, and we wouldn't want to give the same impression here. Cmao20 (talk) 21:47, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jebulon, W.carter, and Cmao20: since this section was not pasted at the right place, and since Jebulon's remark is not relevant anymore, I've moved the remark where it should have been placed from the beginning, and collapsed this out-of-topic discussion for clarity. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:36, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks everybody for correcting me and comment removal, I was away (as voter, and in these pages only...) for a long time indeed. Anyway, I think that the use of such a template is not a good thing, and I fully agree with Cart. I think the three original templates are enough and not confusing. Everyone is free of comments of course, and I see that the users of « weak something » templates give additionally always many relevant explanations, making the template useless. Simplicity and minimalism are the best IMO...--Jebulon (talk) 11:42, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per the others above--Booth sift 03:24, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Overall a very serene mood. Daniel Case (talk) 22:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Subject very small. Trees and reflection are dominant in frame and not much wow with them (compare many other tree reflection images we have at FP, which mostly have Autumn colours). -- Colin (talk) 14:56, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
very weak support :) I opened the nom thinking I'd probably oppose or abstain, since the thumbnail version struck me as, frankly, not particularly interesting, with so much thick greenery (and its reflection) dominating the frame. Looking at the full size, the color and shapes of the subject contrasts so much with everything else that it made me want to look closer. I felt similar to when browsing the Google Maps satellite view, and you see a little flash of color or geometry in an otherwise natural landscape -- creates the feeling of having stumbled upon something. I think, actually, I would not support if it were cropped, actually, for these reasons. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 18:25, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
