•  Info all by me --Msaynevirta (talk) 22:29, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Support --Msaynevirta (talk) 22:29, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Very peaceful, but too much empty space in the sky and water for me to feel wowed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:06, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Harsh light, strong shadows. Too early in the evening for a pleasant mirror effect. I also find the format not adapted. As Ikan says, there's too much sky and water. Perhaps a 2:1 crop would improve a bit, at least to get rid of the distracting branch at the bottom left corner -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:48, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan and Basile. Daniel Case (talk) 02:49, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose To me this is an ordinary and not very special marina photo, and there is the harsh light too. Sorry. --Cart (talk) 14:55, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Alternative recropped image.

•  Comment @Daniel Case, Basile Morin, and Ikan Kekek: I recropped the image to 2:1, what do you think, is it any better? --Msaynevirta (talk) 03:27, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Still oppose It addresses the too-much-earth-and-sky issue, but not the harsh light and shadows noted by Basile (and, by reincorporation, me). To be honest even if these weren't problems it doesn't really stand out from so many other pictures of waterfronts. Daniel Case (talk) 06:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment - Much better. I find the light normal, not harsh. What I'm still not sure about, though, is whether the remaining largely undifferentiated sky and only slightly ripply water provides sufficient eye movement to complement the nice arc. I'll live with this a little longer, but I'm liking the feeling of this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Still oppose Even if the scenery is quiet and peaceful, it is counterbalanced by the hard light which creates agressive contrasts -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:28, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Same as above. --Cart (talk) 14:55, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

•  I withdraw my nomination (both versions) --Msaynevirta (talk) 11:57, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
