Info A misty, atmospheric picture of Stari Bar, an ancient walled town in Montenegro. This is a historic site that was on the frontiers of Europe's borders with the Ottoman Empire, and regularly saw conflict and changes of authority. created by Poco a poco - uploaded by Poco a poco - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 19:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Support -- Cmao20 (talk) 19:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)- Support Nice catch, thank you Cmao20! Poco a poco (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Neutral Composition cut on bottom --Wilfredor (talk) 01:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Oppose Nice, but the overcast, gray afternoon makes the photo a lot less colorful than it might be in more attractive weather. I'm often totally fine with overcast skies, but I think they do detract here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)- Support Grey skies are certainly better than white skies, and I like the depth the clouds give to the mountains. The far left is a little bit busy; I would crop out that tiny sliver if I were you. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Comment Gray and white aren't the only two possibilities. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:50, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- For this scene I actually prefer grey sky to blue with no clouds. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:50, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- I could imagine a partly cloudy day with some sunrays. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that would also be excellent, but I don't see why there can't be multiple different lighting conditions under which the same scene could be featureable. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 12:55, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- +1. The mistiness IMO makes this a more interesting picture. It adds a mysterious and moody quality to this picture of a historic, fortified location. Cmao20 (talk) 16:12, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- I agree in principle to the idea of featuring a scene in different light and have said so before, but not this particular photo, for the reasons stated above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:52, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Support Per KoH. --Domob (talk) 07:19, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Ikan. The dark sky just does not make the cut for me. --StellarHalo (talk) 11:21, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Support -- George Chernilevsky talk 14:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 17:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Support per Cmao20. The mistiness gives the photo an atmosphere appropriate for the subject. --Aristeas (talk) 09:17, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Agree with Ikan that this scene might work in different light. As it is, it does not say wow to me. --GRDN711 (talk) 19:07, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:58, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support per KoH. -- Mdaniels5757 (talk) 16:25, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
