•  Oppose What is this picture of? An empty restaurant? A well lit building? A beautiful old car in a no contrast zone? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:07, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• It's a great illustration of Mood Indigo. --Cart (talk) 22:49, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• Seriously Cart, what does the image advance in the way of culture, knowledge? It is beautifully exposed, but 35% of the image area is unusable. The great car is lost in a no contrast zone, it could have been moved to the front of the building to great effect. So besides good exposure in the afternoon, I really do not find any redeeming encyclopedic value. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:49, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

• Yes Tomas, I'm very serious. Commons is a collection of all kind of pictures, not only encyclopedic ones. If you look at the rules on COM:FPC, you can see that is says: "7. Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project." That means that all sorts of beautiful, artistic and outstanding photos are very welcome here. I'm sure that a skilled photographer like you have plenty of photos that could come into consideration. I would love to see some of your non-encyclopedic photos nominated here. They will be preserved for all those Wikimedia Projects we have no idea about yet. Excellent encyclopedic photos are easy to take, non-encyclopedic are much harder, that is why we see so few of them here. As you can see, the rest of the voters know this and that is why so many users have voted for this. --Cart (talk) 19:04, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

*  Question Good thinking! Does this also apply to public health related photographs? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:46, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

• As long as it follows the rules of COM:PEOPLE. Health-related photos often include people and if they are identifiable, they should give their consent since such photos can be rather intrusive. --Cart (talk) 10:29, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

• Btw, did you know that there is already a Wiki-project called Wikibooks? This is the sort of image that would make a beautiful book cover if someone made a book there about moods or any other subject that needs a calm classic blue hour photo. Or if Wikivoyage (a Wiki travel guide) needs a nice photo of this hotel. Only your imagination will set the limits for where a photo can be used. --Cart (talk) 19:28, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
