Support -- Kruusamägi (talk) 08:32, 23 June 2016 (UTC)- Support - Smaller than usual for a FP, but this is a beautiful photo. I'm not sure if others will be willing to overlook the small size. The rule I'm seeing is "Images should have at least 2 real megapixels of information", and this picture easily clears that, but I seem to remember others referring to a figure of 6 MP for FP. But that's except for compelling reasons otherwise. To me, this is a special photo, and it's big enough to make its effect. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:23, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Weak
Oppose – really nice per IK but too noisy for me considering the small size, and 
chromatic aberration. --Kreuzschnabel 10:16, 23 June 2016 (UTC) 
Question I know that rules can be broken", but what about the rule of thirds, and the horizon in the middle. I feel it as a composition issue.--Jebulon (talk) 13:18, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Question - What horizon? Wherever the horizon might be, we can't see it because of the mist. I don't think that either the grass or trees constitute exactly 1/2 of the picture, but the reflexive opposition some folks here have to things that smack of divisions in two is very strange to me. The world is neither divided always in two nor in three. In order to get out of a rut, a photographer could just as well try a "rule of fifths" or a "rule of sevenths", but to cite an avant gardist in a different field, Arnold Schoenberg famously said “There is still much good music to be written in C major.” If the foremost champion of pantonality as the inevitable next stage in musical progress was that flexible, why use thirds as a crutch? I don't mean to suggest that you may not have good reasons for finding the composition wanting, but being divided in three or not being divided in two don't strike me as a good absolute rules. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:53, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others. As Jebulon points out, the composition is an issue here. It looks like we're missing a necessary part of the image at top. INeverCry 18:28, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment - Not to me. This is the image the photographer desired. Someone else, if they were standing in the same place with a camera at the same time, might have taken a picture that included the further-up reaches of the trees, but why is that necessary? I think the point of this photo is to show the rays of sunlight shining through the mist between the trees and hitting the grass and the sides of some trees, and that's what it shows. Why would the addition of anything else improve the composition? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:44, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- For me, I like the trees, but I feel the photograph would be better and more balanced if more of the trees could be seen, and the grass took up the bottom third of the composition. This has an incomplete look to it for me. INeverCry 18:26, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Somehow, expressed this way, I can relate to your view more, though I still don't share it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:06, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, this is somewhat unusual composition, but I think it works well with the current image. For me this even increases the wow factor as it makes the image more especial. Kruusamägi (talk) 20:00, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose I just don't know what the subject of this image is supposed to be. Is it the silhouetted trees? If so, why are they limited to the upper right quarter? Is it everything? If so, I feel like I'm only looking at half of it, and most of it is too dark. With all this confusion, there is no wow. Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
