Oppose Sorry - the sky is completely blown and I honestly don't see any wow-factor here. --Code (talk) 15:41, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Code. INeverCry 18:59, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I like photographs in which the viewer looks through vegetation, including backlit trees, and it's even nicer to combine that with reflections in a pond. However, there are three problems I see with this photo, two major and one minor. The major ones are: (1) The focus is significantly blown (as Code says, the sky is blown, but it extends to a lot of the vegetation beyond the immediate foreground); (2) relatedly, light this glary needs a denser screen of vegetation for a better composition. The minor one is that the crops on the left and right sides seem a little random, though they could be tweaked slightly if the two major problems didn't disqualify this photo from consideration for a feature. But I like your sensibility and hope you continue to take photos of similar motifs. If you take one that's sharper and has either softer light or a denser screen of vegetation, try again, but in the future, you might want to nominate your photo for Quality Image first, as this one probably wouldn't be approved for that, and if another photo is, you can at least be reassured that it's likely to be technically in the ballpark for Featured Picture consideration. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: of far from usual FP criteria, especially the overexposition of the sky.--Jebulon (talk) 00:09, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
