Collapsed jetty in Norrkila bay
  • That's ok. No horizon avaliable I'm afraid, which limits the angles. It's in a bay of a fjord so the opposite shoreline with dull dark trees, is just above this. --Cart (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose At least one can recognize a picture idea but why this should now be an FP remains hidden to me. As QI that would be ok but with such trivialities the author wastes no time. --Ermell (talk) 07:36, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Ok guys, it's perfectly fine not to like a nominated photo but could you please do so without using a personally insulting language, that is not in line with Commons policy. Let's keep it civilized. --Cart (talk) 08:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment No need to be upset. I can't see anything offensive here. What I have written is true, isn't it? I think the picture is not bad, but it is presented on the wrong stage.--Ermell (talk) 12:56, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Some here don't speak as brilliant English as you do, sorry if that wasn't translated in a meaningful way. I think the meaning has been understood.--Ermell (talk) 22:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Hm. I stared at it for a while to figure out if I can find any reason to feature this but it's not there. I see that there's a certain idea behind this picture (although I fail to verbalize it) but I think this could have been done better. Try black and white (ideally on film) and/or try a longer exposure (3 minutes or so). Then it could work. I'm sorry to say that the present photo looks just like a snapshot. Not among our finest in my eyes. --Code (talk) 09:23, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now that's the way to do it. Keeping it all factual about the photo and even give some tips. You are a credit to Commons and your profession. Thanks! Btw, long exposure wouldn't work here since the structure itself sways with the waves. --Cart (talk) 10:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, it is an abstract, even with some dynamics and tension built into it since you can almost see it falling. However, abstract is a touchy and volatile subject here on FPC and I usually get a lot of heat when I nominate anything in that genre, since it somehow seems to upset part of the users here. But sometimes something slips through, so I try since I like having lots of different kinds of FPs. --Cart (talk) 10:20, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
