Support Very good composition and mood. Image quality could be better on the men, but acceptable given the light. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:36, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support An evocative image --Baresi F (talk) 19:37, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The colors are a bit washed-out, in my opinion. Also, too much space at top and right. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:04, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but not wow for me, nothing special here Jiel (talk) 21:38, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In the first place, I don't get what this image wants to tell me, it lacks a clear message. Most landscape images bear the simple message "Look what a nice place this is", here I don’t see much of it. A nice peaceful moment to remember, for sure, but for these only who attended it. Then, there are several issues to address, see notes. Considerable colour noise in the sky to the right. --Kreuz schnabel 12:45, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An image shows a message based on your experience and memories, sometimes even those memories can be embodied experiences of others in books, movies or music. So the wow factor, or what a picture shows for you, depends on the culture. The wow factor is important and I think that this has, however, would be a little more interesting to open your mind to other cultures, particularly in developing countries. Our section also needs more non-Western images as Asian and Arab countries. My idea with this post is not to refute your comment, but a call to refection, this is of great value to me, it is the first place where I learned to fish with my father. Nice review, I will try fix the problems --The Photographer (talk) 13:36, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Wilfredo, that’s ridiculous. If your image fails to convey the intended message, you cannot blame the respective recipient for that. (And I personally do think I positively tend to open my mind to other cultures, by the way.) --Kreuz schnabel 12:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not blaming the recipient, every opinion is valid especially because it is subjective. However, most of the photographers in commons are Western, by consequent, the recipient will be similar and not for that situation they are reviewing right or wrong, they simply have a similar recipient. It is a subjective issue and my concern is that here in (FPC, QI, VI and commons) there is only few people of Asian or Arab culuras, without going too far, there are no women. I have taken this issue to another point, we could go somewhere else, if you like you. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm slightly torn. I think it's a good composition and it's somewhat interesting. I'm not completely convinced about the foreground people and what we see of them. On the negative side are also strong halos and some strange colours in the sky and water (probably lens-caused). — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 07:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the reviews. Maybe someday return to make a better picture. When the dictatorship in Venezuela over. The Photographer (talk) 13:19, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
