Question Doesn't this photo need to be rotated 90 degrees? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:24, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why? 😄 ArionEstar 😜 22:02, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because the surface of the Earth is vertical? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't understand your reasoning at all. Why should the one of the two waters (lake/lagoon to the left and sea to the right) on either side of the sandy beach be up or down? As it is now, the photo is sort of oriented with the north part of the sandy beach at the top, the way most maps are. It's a very distinct part of the park, so it wasn'r hard to find on a satellite image. Location now added. --Cart (talk) 22:57, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maps are useful representations of reality with graphics and symbols on a flat surface, but photos that should be turned to be vertical are obvious to see. I doubt everyone else will find my reaction at all odd, and I'm surprised you do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:17, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Depends on the viewpoint. Lolol! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 23:01, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disregarding the map angle, you write "90 degrees" is that cw or ccw?. Should the lake/lagoon or the sea be at the top of the photo. I think drone photos are mostly aligned in ways that are aesthetically pleasing (mostly from the author's point of view); in a way they free your mind from convectional thinking. Giving the two waters equal importance looks pleasing to me. The photo has an almost abstract color-blocking quality to it. --Cart (talk) 23:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I guess either way might work, though I thought of the sea being on the bottom. I'll live with it longer, but it struck me very strangely, like a movie that's 90 degrees flipped. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not trying to convince you to support it, just having an impromptu POV composition discussion. ;-) It's a nice photo, but personally, I think it lacks the 'wow' factor and the processing of it could really be better. It is after all a seven y/o drone photo. A lot has happened since then. --Cart (talk) 12:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate it. Sometimes, it's important for a person's immediate reactions or assumptions to be challenged. That's how a mind can be broadened. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:11, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all my nominations has become no-voting forums. :'( 😄 ArionEstar 😜 19:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately, the photo still looks 90 degrees off to me, because it's just really odd to see the waves breaking to the left instead of to the top (or maybe bottom? I'd have to see it). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:53, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose There a 1-pixel-large white border all around that is worth to be removed. Also the picture is over-sharpened in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:56, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've been on the fence about this because of sharpening, but in the end the perspective and composition wins it out for me. Honestly, it reminds me of the map-building tools in Total Annihilation: Kingdoms. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:28, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, Minecraft, that's where I recognize this from! :-D --Cart (talk) 14:48, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ Beside the fact, that there is no short description on this nomination, the description on the file page itself is not enough for me. When I need to guess what is to see where on the pic, it's no FP for me, sorry. --Stepro (talk) 05:42, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added, thanks to W.carter. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 12:28, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Stepro, the description on the file page is expanded. Best, --Cart (talk) 12:54, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And please, ArionEstar, you need to be more thorough when you make your nominations. As nominator (and long-time FPC participant), it is your job to make sure that all the "paper work" like descriptions, categories and the rest of the text, are complete and well done. You can't rely on other users to add all the things you didn't do. You have been told before to select your noms with greater care and prepare them properly. You have been here so long, you should know what to do --Cart (talk) 13:29, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I got your feedback. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 18:47, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for doing this. I have to admit that I didn't know what to do with the picture, and can only see what's there from the expanded description. --Stepro (talk) 13:35, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination for a future better renomination. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 03:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
