•  Info created by Trougnouf - uploaded by Trougnouf - nominated by Trougnouf -- Trougnouf (talk) 18:45, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support -- Trougnouf (talk) 18:45, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Only part of the main subject (the pigeon) is seen. Unattractive background. Sorry. --Cayambe (talk) 21:47, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - Only part of the pigeon is seen because the pigeon turns its face to the ground when it dies, and I think not seeing its whole face is a good metaphor for dying, anyway. I'm voting my first reaction, which was to feel sad. Also, the pigeon is photographed clearly. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Cayambe; the angle should be higher.--Peulle (talk) 00:11, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support per Ikan. Powerful, symbolic image... The cropped legs, implying the presence of indifferent bystanders, add to the feeling of forlorness and loneliness. I suppose I'm reading too much into it, it's just a pigeon after all that won't give a damn, but metaphorically it works that way, imo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:07, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment - I don't think you're reading too much into it at all. I also have a soft spot for pigeons, which are really sensitive, caring creatures toward their mates and quite intelligent in very interesting ways. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:33, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not close to FP in composition. Charles (talk) 09:18, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sad, but per Charles. Daniel Case (talk) 22:45, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Charles. The wow is missing. Manelolo (talk) 12:17, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Had it not been for that thick pipe this would have been an FP for me. The walls has the illusion of a sarcophagus, a proper place to let a soon dead lifeform rest in, shielding it from the busy world around that you can glimpse. --cart-Talk 13:38, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Manelolo --Fischer.H (talk) 10:05, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
