Oppose Not sure what is featurable here, the quality is fine (apart from some blurry spots at the very top), but the motif/compo isn't. RolfHill (talk) 11:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think the point is that the spruces with their bare branches stand in a row like an assembly of witches, dressed in dark gray/black, giggling and looking at the viewer sinisterly. At least I had that association when looking at this photo; it seems to evoke memories to some children’s books illustrations where the witches are depicted with their arms and magic wands in a similar pose as the spruces with their branches. --Aristeas (talk) 08:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You made the right connection. :-) I always think this part of the forest looks like something from an evil fairytale or even Game of Thrones. As I often do, I wanted to try something we don't have at FP yet. We have tons of beautiful and pretty trees but wicked-looking ones are rare. This scene also has a nice pattern to it with the trunks and the branches. --Cart (talk) 08:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I do not see here anything so exceptional for FP nominaton. -- Karelj (talk) 14:27, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Aristeas. Subtle but I see what you are going for and I like it. Sadly I am not sure it will get promoted. Cmao20 (talk) 19:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support A little bit mystic. --XRay 💬 08:14, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per my reasoning above. --Aristeas (talk) 09:44, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support once I read Cart's explanation and saw what she had been trying to capture. Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nothing special --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:37, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support To me this is a macabre picture. Scary too. The course from left to right is nicely displayed. The strip of light completes the picture for me.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:16, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per other opposers. --Ivar (talk) 06:37, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support.--Vulp here 15:25, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not special enough -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:35, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I gave the composition a long enough time to work for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:43, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
