Support -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC){{o|Formal oppose}}It is certainly a well executed photo, but it has no element that makes me go wow for it. It is the kind of photo of a fairly standard city hotel lounge you see in a glossy booklet you pick up at an airport or tourist information. It depicts the venue in a neutral way for clients. Sorry. The chairs and painting would have made a nice photo though, see note. --Cart (talk) 06:13, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Cart, for your opinion. I agree with your note. Perhaps you're also right this photo could be found in a glossy booklet, the floor is glossy too, and that could make people think "wow, I want to stay there !"
It's a simple picture, but I find it well balanced, with a lot of space, and two attractive armchairs. Tastefully decorated, it's an invitation to sit and to climb -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yep, it's a good photo to bring guests to the hotel, but it doesn't make the artistic part of my brain sit up and take notice. I'm sure you could have come up with some more creative angle if you had experimented a bit. The note is only an approximation. I follow Chen Man on Instagram and she always photographs the hotels she's staying in. She goes for the smaller details and crops of bigger structures that captures the essence of the hotel; it makes for good and interesting photos. --Cart (talk) 07:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- No worry, your note is of great value, but don't judge my work too quickly here, because I made a lot of shots from different angles that day, [[:|including your suggestion]]. But I prefer this version because of the stairs -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:11, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

- Support I like it a lot. I find the reflection, lightening, staircase lines and objects (like plants, paintings and chairs) in appealing order making the composition pleasant to my eye. --Podzemnik (talk) 08:50, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

- Support Cart's critique notwithstanding, I still like the way the diagonals play with each other in this image. Daniel Case (talk) 03:02, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Comment I've changed my 'oppose' to a 'formal oppose'. I've made my point and said what I wanted, but the only thing my vote will do now is to delay the promotion of this. Since my oppose is not a strong oppose, I can be Mellow about this. --Cart (talk) 17:09, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
