  • Nomination Motor scooter (detail) and helmet in Rethymno, Crete, Greece --XRay 03:08, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Support Good quality -- Johann Jaritz 03:54, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Bad composition. Sorry, but I do not understand where is what. It will be looks good, if helmet will be put on the mirror of the car. It's not even clear what kind of car brand it is, and why it should be cool at this time. --Kirill Borisenko 20:31, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
  • The composition may not please everyone. Whether it is bad is another matter. I like the lines, the helmet suitably placed and the certain something (helmet with the "8"). The vehicle in the background has no special meaning. --XRay 05:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
  •   Neutral. Maybe the image is intended to be a modern work of art or a photo of an abstract sculpture, but I still don't like it enough to vote Pro. It's also too bright at the top left for me. -- Spurzem 16:25, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose colour noise and too bright in upper left part, sorry --Virtual-Pano 21:57, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I tried to find colour noise, but I can't. I've improved the photograph and it's hopefully better now. --XRay 04:26, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support Perfectly OK to me, and I think we should respect the photographer's artistic license unless there's really something clearly wrong with the composition. I respect the points about the brightness and color noise in the highlights, though. -- Ikan Kekek 05:03, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I agree with Kirill Borisenko, QI is not an artistic competition, thus photo subject should be clear. You can ask a question for yourself: Which article can the photo illustrate? --Nino Verde 08:48, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your review. But: What article? Why? It's not a Wikipedia competition. But by the way, there are also numerous articles in the Wikipedias that contain not only documentary photos. We shouldn't just fixate on Wikipedia here. There are many users of the photos outside the Wikimedia world. From the project scope: "makes available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content to all" --XRay 11:56, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Yeah, this increased fixation on the idea of Commons as merely an adjunct to Wikipedia is troubling. Signed, admin on Wikivoyage. -- Ikan Kekek 17:20, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
  • You believe no wikis other than Wikipedia exist? Wikivoyage must be a figment of my imagination. -- Ikan Kekek 15:48, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support IMO good enough. There is a rule that an image should have some potential value for a wiki. This one might illustrate "helmet" in a wiktionary, just for example. We don't need to debate how likely this is, however. --Robert Flogaus-Faust 21:51, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you, Ikan. The Wikimedia world is much larger than just the Wikipedia world. From my experience, very many images are also used outside the Wikimedia world. This is precisely what should be taken into account. It is by no means a "private archive" if an image is not used in a Wikipedia. But such basic discussions should perhaps not be held here, but for example under Village pump. This also helps to clear up misunderstandings about the project scope. --XRay 11:52, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Blown highlights on the seat and bottom of the helmet, insufficient DoF. --Tagooty 09:12, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
Total: 3 support (excluding the nominator), 4 oppose →   Declined   --Robert Flogaus-Faust 16:36, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
