I of course realize that everybody's opinion is different, and I respect yours, but to me the nominated image seems much more extraordinary than let's say, for example, an image of two rocks with forest in between  --Mbz1 (talk) 09:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The image you are referring to is really, really atmospheric, though; as are many of your own nominations. For me, this just isn't one of them. -- JovanCormac 10:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Should "atmospheric" be added to FPC criterias? Just kidding :) As I said I do respect your opinion, but I have a very different one. The nominated image not only depicts in great details historic Fort Baker, but it also has a great mood - the fog over the Bay. Of course it is my own opinion about my own image that could be biased  . This image is very dear and very extraordinary to me for one more reason that is not connected to the image itself. I mean one amazing support vote it got on English Wikipedia FP nomination  --Mbz1 (talk) 10:17, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am afraid you're having a deja vue   or maybe you're mistaking it with the nomination of the same image on English Wikipedia. I nominated one of the similar pictures here on Commons few weeks ago, but it was never featured.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think "weak" or "strong" make any difference in counting the votes, so may I please ask you next time, when opposing my image do not loose time for "weak" or "strong"? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about differences in the vote count, it's just a part of expressing your opinion. Airwolf (talk) 19:20, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe so, but the thing is that in English Wikipedia "weak" and "strong" do make difference in the counts of the votes, while here they apparently do not. That's why IMO adding "weak" / "strong" could create a confusion, if a nomination is closed manually, for example, (sometimes it does). IMO the opinion could be expressed in the comment in some other ways, of course if there's something to express at all.  .--Mbz1 (talk) 19:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's just like Airwolf said. A plain "oppose" sometimes seems too harsh to me, when there's just small things that keep me from voting support. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 20:06, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dear NEUROtiker, I am sorry, if my comment sounded too harsh for you. I did not mean it. The thing is that to me "oppose" is "oppose" no matter weak or strong, and as I mentioned adding "weak" or "strong" might create some confusion. You said "small things that keep me from voting support". I hope you do agree there's a rather big difference between voting oppose (even weak one) or not voting support (not voting at all I mean). IMO the nominated image did not deserve to be opposed, but it is my opinion, and you could have your own, an absolutely different one. I respect it no matter what. Best regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:19, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment I agree with Mila, I always prefer just put a "comment" instead of "weak oppose", I think if I don't have any strong reason to oppose, my vote should not get counted as a vote. but about the image, It's a nice panorama, but the crop is very tight at bottom and right.   ■ MMXXtalk  05:21, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I know it is. I had no other choice because of the cliff.--Mbz1 (talk) 09:51, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  Question Where was that helicopter you had in Hawaii? Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 12:15, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
After my amazing Mauna Loa image taken from a helicopter was opposed for no scale and no horizont I've decided never again to nominate another image taken from a helicopter... except maybe just one more :)--Mbz1 (talk) 13:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
