Oppose I really wanted to like this picture. Photographically the picture is flawless; I think the photographer has good command of DoF and interesting if unconventional composition. I find the composition a bit funny however (no emphasis on either subject). Also I fail to find its encyclopedic value (per Indon, what's it a picture of?), while a great artistic shot I don't feel it illustrates anything in it particularly well. Roadmrs
I think composition is a very conservative one based on rule of thirds: both the bird and the top of the ship are near interest points. The "Guidelines for Evaluating Photographs" in this same page does not say nothing about encyclopaedic value, on the contrary below "Featured picture candidate policy" explicitly says: "This is not simply a depository for wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project."

Oppose I like the composition very much, but i would like it maybe better when the background consist only of water and i find the picture not interesting enough to be a FP Simonizer09:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral i like the composition but the photo is in general a bit dark - especially in the upper right corner....maybe sth can be done about that --SimONE15:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That was my last day on Finland, just two hours later I was in the airport to take an airplane to return home and end my holidays, so it's normal that there's a lot of sadness... ;-D Francisco M. Marzoa14:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
