• Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places
•  Info created by dronepicr on Flickr - uploaded by User:Dronepicr - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Support - I think this is an outstanding drone picture. My only hesitation in nominating it is that I hope people don't vote against it because the angle of the photo makes the ground diagonal, instead of straight, but I nominate it, anyway, to see what you all think. P.S. I didn't see a category for drone or aerial pictures; if you know of a good subcategory to add to the "Category" line, please feel free to add it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Support No, I find the ground fine; as long as the horizon is level, which it appears to be. Great find too! Really lots of wow, and for a drone pic image quality is ok, but could be better -- Thennicke (talk) 02:55, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment I found it in COM:Photo challenge, where this month's challenge is drone pics. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

• I really should involve myself with Photo Challenge more, but I wish there was some "QI" barrier to the nominations or something - unfortunately some of the winners are shocking from a photographic perspective -- Thennicke (talk) 01:52, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

• I think that's because the judges have to work with the submissions they get. When they get higher-quality submissions, the results improve. Quite a few FPs have been among the top 3 results in photo challenges over the years. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

• True, but an example of what annoys me is that File:RhB ABe 8-12 Langwieser Viadukt.jpg, which was uploaded under the competition "bad weather", came 27th out of 41. If FPC contributors were judging it would've been top 3. Anyway this isn't the place for me to beef :P -- Thennicke (talk) 04:24, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

• Yeah, probably best to discuss that at Commons talk:Photo challenge, I imagine, but I hear you. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Per Ikan. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 05:12, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Just not enough wow for me. Daniel Case (talk) 05:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
• You will have to rework the colors here, think blue is +, green is missing. Some saturation maybe. --Mile (talk) 21:17, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Support I like the colors and composition. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:59, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose No wow, I struggle to decide what the subject is --Lucasbosch 14:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment - No argument on "no wow", but to me, anyway, the subject seems obvious: the bright area smack dab in the center of the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:10, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: The file name is, mainly, "Caye Caulker Belize", which describes the islands, so already the file name is not optimal/confusing if the white thing is the main subject. Also the white thing seems to be only captured in part, there is a missing part on the bottom left, confirmed by satellite images. --Lucasbosch 19:06, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for expounding on your point of view. I don't share it, but I understand it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment It needs a tilt and perspective correction. Poc o² 08:47, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

  I doubt User:Dronepicr is monitoring this, so I don't think any edits will be forthcoming from him/her. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

 Info i monitored the whole discussion :) The subject in the middle is called the split:"A narrow waterway known as the Split divides the island in two. Some people state that the Split was created by Hurricane Hattie in 1961 which devastated Belize City, however that is a myth." You can read this here on wiki (eng.). I made some photos of caye caulker from different perspectives. You can find them in wikimedia too. In this photo i wanted to show how caye caulker is divided. The focus here is not the split-- dronepicr (talk)
