Support For who want that I fix a potential perspective issue, please read the description. -- Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 10:58, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support The light is strong but here it creates a special atmosphere, like in Salvador Dali's paintings -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:27, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Maybe I'm at fault here, but this photo is just not interesting me much. I don't find it surreal either, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:46, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In Dali's paintings you often find such cut trunks with strong light and shadows like with these swans and elephants for example. There's something surrealist with these trees in the sand of a beach, as if they had grown up here. At least it's a surprising situation in a natural place. Some rocks, shells, or umbrellas would be more understandable, but these trunks having a sun bath in front of the sea remain mysterious enough to me to like it. Your feeling probably differs and is perfectly legitimate. Also the quality of this picture is excellent at full size, so good QI + wow factor = FP, but that's just my voice -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I understand how you could have been reminded of that painting. And definitely agreed that the technical quality of the photo is high, as usual for Christian. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:50, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice touch. --Laitche (talk) 14:51, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Basile Morin: I'm sorry to end the mystery :) but I added to the description the probable reason for the presence of these trunks. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:09, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I wondered if that could be Land art, but it seems to be the unintentional result of both human and natural factors -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:51, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the picture would be better with a tighter framing. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 13:15, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment S. DÉNIEL has a point. Covering the photo so I don't see the forest and sky makes the photo more striking. --Cart (talk) 07:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination this lack of enthusiasm of the community lets me think that the photo is not so special Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 10:38, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
