•  Info Sunset sky over Governors Island, NYC. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:29, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Support I know that FPC is typically wary of sunsets, but I found the variety of lines, shapes, and colors here interesting so I tried to capture a panorama and was happy with the result. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:29, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Compo looks a bit unbalanced to me (too much sky). Also I added couple notes, where are stitching errors. --Ivar (talk) 15:51, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
  • The composition I was going for is mainly within the sky, in some ways playing off the shape of the land. There was a bit of empty water at the bottom that I cropped out because it was just dark space that weighed down the whole. There are two rows of frames that are just sky because it's all about the sky here. Thanks for highlighting the stitching errors. Will fix shortly. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  16:24, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
    • Ok I think I've addressed the stitching errors. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  18:04, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment better, but both still visible (on the water and on the clouds). --Ivar (talk) 19:03, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• Took another pass. A little difficult, but the clouds are varied enough to be a little forgiving I think. Feel free to restore notes if there's more, of course. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:16, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

•  Support but maybe a little more water at the bottom to give the boat breathing room would be ideal. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:11, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment The sky is great, but I would really appreciate some more water at the bottom. --Aristeas (talk) 08:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Support per KoH. After all, the focus of the image is the sky. --StellarHalo (talk) 11:02, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
• @Iifar, King of Hearts, Aristeas, and StellarHalo: I've uploaded a new version with just a tiny bit more water added back in at the bottom. It's not particularly pretty water, but I think I see what you're saying in terms of composition. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:16, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

  Much better. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:41, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Thank you – now the ship can swim ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 16:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I can see what you might have been hoping to get but for me the sky is just too busy. Daniel Case (talk) 17:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
  • I mean, that it's a busy sky with lots of lines/colors/contrails, intentionally composed, is kind of the point, and what makes it something different from the standard sunset sky picture. Not everyone's cup of tea, I suppose. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Daniel Case Danu Widjajanto (talk) 17:41, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Per KoH --Llez (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose The island is too dark, and the sky is just average. —kallerna (talk) 15:26, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Surprised this has got such a mixed reaction. For me it's the fact that the sky is so 'busy' that makes this a special image. The colours and shapes make it look painterly and unique. Cmao20 (talk) 01:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
•  Support I wasn't convinced at thumbnail size but after scrolling through the picture you got my support. IMHO the bottom crop is though a bit tight. Poco a poco (talk) 14:23, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
