Info A high-resolution view of this sandy beach in North West Denmark. Not as warm as Martin's Maldives photos, but plenty to see if you zoom in and observe all the people doing their own thing. FYI there is another FP of this beach: File:Nørre Vorupør Coast one third sky 2012-11-18.jpg. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 12:29, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support wonderfully detailed! I was hoping for some Martin Parr style beach action but Danes seem always so terribly behaved. ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:54, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Martin, I saw a Martin Parr exhibition combined with the Sony World Photo exhibition in London recently. Some funny images, including the Scottish bad weather swimmer which reminds me of home, and I love the "We wanted a cottagey stately home kind of feel." image. -- Colin (talk) 13:21, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - The "cottagey stately home" is truly bizarre... I really admire Parr. Not only because he's in a position to canonize his own collections). Unlike other artists like Roger Ballen, Parr always achieves to identify and make tangible a bright side in everything absurd and ugly, taking a huge part of the sting out of it. I'm really looking forward to visiting a major exhibition in Munich this fall. But that's off-topic... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Really? A photo of a beach should be a FP? For me nothing special. Nothing more QI. I'm sorry. --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 21:43, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I love Danish beaches. This picture reminds me of many happy days in my childhood. --Code (talk) 05:31, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And childhood memories would be a justification for FP? Like facebook .... I did not know --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 06:43, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So what makes a picture featurable in your eyes? I'm curious. --Code (talk) 10:11, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Composition,Interest of the subject,Useful for the project etc....for you? Your childhood?--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 21:01, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The overall impression of a picture. Basically quality, composition, subject, originality. Not so much the usefulness for a certain project. I find much of what a makes good picture here. The quality is very high, the picture gives a good impression of the size of the beach, the composition is more than average (look at the coastline, the clouds, the people and the two ships). It's very documentary because it shows the Danish beach the way Danish beaches usually look like (colours, weather and so on) as far as I can remember from my childhood. Certainly one of our finest pictures. We recently promoted some pictures by Martin Falbisoner (which deserved the star of course). They also were nothing but "a photo of a beach" and you didn't complain. I don't really understand your voting pattern. --Code (talk) 06:22, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And I do not understand yours, we are equal!--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 11:25, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course the discussion had to end that way. As always. --Code (talk) 12:24, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Livioandronico. -- KennyOMG (talk) 20:59, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and nobody mentioned third croping, its much better. --Mile (talk) 07:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC) p.S. Sky to 1/3[reply]
- Cropping so the horizon is at the 2/3 point means that the sky contains a greater proportion of cloud and loses much of the blue sky above. I'm not sure the proportion change affects the composition one way or the other much, but the loss of so much blue makes the picture less sunny. -- Colin (talk) 07:39, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Might be, but if you would put both together, i think croped would be more interesting. --Mile (talk) 12:38, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I have put them together to judge. I do appreciate crop suggestions, and often make them myself, so I know a picture can be made stronger by removing parts. But here I think it changes the sky from "blue with some clouds" to "cloudy with some blue" and that's not the mood I want to suggest nor does it best represent the weather conditions at the time. -- Colin (talk) 12:54, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, a well-done photo of a beach that shows it need not be a tropical one, or even a warm one, to be a good one. Daniel Case (talk) 15:38, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Really nice. --Lošmi (talk) 18:24, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Exactly per code above. If I were a painter, that's pretty much how I would paint a Danish beach in spring. --El Grafo (talk) 07:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
