Oppose It looks very cool, but the picture is a heavily processed composite and I do not think that it realistically depicts the subject. First, there is clearly a layer produced by "radial blur" as it is far too smooth to be actual rain. Second, there is no way the 1/30 s exposure can create such rain effects. Third, the monument is cut out from a different background, as can be seen by errors near the bottom right. Fourth, the fact that the "center" of the rain drops is different from the vanishing point of the monument means either that the monument is seriously tilted (which is not the case), or there is an impossibly consistent wind making all the rain slanted. Fifth, the technical quality of the image has numerous flaws such as chromatic aberration. Sixth, rain is not usually so bright in the air unless it is illuminated by, say, a spotlight, which would not be consistent with the lighting on the monument. As such the picture is extremely misleading; perhaps the description should be edited to emphasize that it is a piece of digital artwork produced by compositing different photos and effects rather than the faithful depiction of a subject that is usually expected for Commons photos. dllu (t,c) 04:29, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Digital manipulations must not deceive the viewer.

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

I think it's better to call this a work of digital art, rather than an attempt at deceiving the viewer. The FP guidelines don't seem to prohibit this kind of nomination. That said, since this seems to be novel, I withdraw my nomination for now. --Pine^✉ 05:31, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure this does fall within the Guidelines or not, but when nominate this kind of photos, I think the category should be Non-photographic media/Computer-generated like this one. And {{Retouched picture}} must be used :) --Laitche (talk) 09:59, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
