•  Oppose Excellent light, timing and overall quality, but sorry, I think landscape is the wrong format for such an elongated subject - it should have more air to breathe at the top, and I would have liked to see more of the reflection at the bottom. The position of the main subject in the frame also seems unbalanced to me. It is neither centered or according to the rule of thirds. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:09, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Slaunger. INeverCry 00:30, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Quality is good, but as per Slaunger, for me the composition is not on FP level. -- Rftblr (talk) 09:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per above. This is a QI, but nothing extraordinary for being a FP. Also, the line dividing the too shades of blue at the top... it's kind of diagonal, which IMO does not make for a pleasant composition. --Xicotencatl (talk) 18:19, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
