  •   Info created by Jikael — uploaded by Jikael — nominated by Jikael - (initialized by Pabix :))
  •   Oppose — Yes, it's a beautiful canal in Venice. If there is a gondola in the canal, then I would support it. Indon 14:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Neutral a nice photo - but i think it is a too high color saturation which makes it kitschy. But that could get changed. --AngMoKio 15:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support Good enough as it is, no gondola needed to spoil the view. --Leclerc 16:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support - I don't think a gondola is necessary, either - MPF 17:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support Nice colours, nice play of dark and light. And no gondola (now that would make it kitschy). Plus details like the reflection and the door (and I even like the washing line). Only the composition could have been a bit better, but that's nitpicking DirkvdM 18:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support --Luc Viatour 04:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Strong oppose Not a representative pic of Venice and ditto to Indon the gondolas are missing and I agree it is high color saturated (look at the blue-white-red flag), I have been there two weeks ago and I took 150 pics, I can upload some examples of representative pics if necessary. Moroever, the highest size of the pic is ugly, check by yourself.--Hi-tacks 12:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's not blue white red. That's the Peace flag, and color semms quite ok for being sunlit. --Jollyroger 20:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Info It's the end of a small Canal in Venice where there are never gondolas. This pic show the not commercial face of venice (the local life style)with you to appreciate the relevance of it..--Jikael 15:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose Venice is great... But this is not a great picture, IMO. --Jod-let 13:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Neutral. I am absolutely opposed to those who think that a gondola is necessary. Gondolas are tourist traps. But this photo needs a bit less saturation and more sharpness. ♦ Pabix ℹ 13:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • To be honest, if this is a voting for an artistic photography contest, then I will rate it above average. Not high because of too much saturation. However, there is non-technical guideline in this voting process, that the picture should be informative. Gondolas make this picture more information. Another element is people, if you want to show local llife style as Jikael mentioned. What so special about an empty canal in Venice? Indon 14:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      No. On Commons, we don't judge on encyclopedic value. This is not Wikipedia. If you want to judge information, go to the equivalent page on Wikipedia! There are featured pictures candidates on en: too. An image can be featured here and not there, and vice-versa. ♦ Pabix ℹ 16:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      Some people here judge mainly by technical quality, some by encyclopaedic value, some by artistic impression, some by something else maybe ... I think this mean that the encyclopedic value is judged by some people as important factor and it can affect voting results if "encyclopaedic value" is low. --Leclerc 18:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose. No details, it's blurry grainy and blown-out. --Dschwen 16:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support no gondolas, please. That's a sad clichè --Jollyroger 20:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose The saturation looks pushed which,to me, is wrong for the subject matter. It's not pretty, it's not special in any way, and it doesn't capture backwater Venice all that well. The gondola discussion is a red herring. Masonbarge 13:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support This image makes me wonder where the people are, where the gondolas are and what would be found in the windows and doors, variety of colours appeal. Very interesting. Prefer the cropped version. KenWalker 06:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question Why do several people hate the colours here, but most love the colours in the Summer Field photo below (15 down)? To me that one looks a bit fake (though I stil like it). DirkvdM 19:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
