Info created by Nefronus - uploaded by Nefronus - nominated by Nefronus --Nefronus 22:38, 23 July 2021 (UTC)- Welcome, Nefronus! I believe this is your first nomination here; sorry if I'm being forgetful. In any case, I would really like to hear your thoughts on what makes this photo exceptional. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:24, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the welcome, Ikan Kekek, you are right about my first nomination. In my opinion the subject is exceptional, the quarry looks majestic and has interesting connections both with the geological history of the area (which is essential e.g. for stratigraphy/paleontology internationally – sadly there is not a WP article on that topic yet) and industry. Regarding the photo, I like the different colored “layers” (sky, vegetation, stone, vegetation), the layering is further supported by the stages of the quarry. Also the drilling machine gives an idea of the scale. So, all in all, the photo is not brutally, but rather softly striking. It is a favorite one of my photo uploads yet: it combines my favourite scientific field and well executed aesthetics. I was also curious about the FP nomination process/reactions. --Nefronus 23:55, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you. That was a very clear answer. I think the photo is interesting, but I wonder whether a more horizontal composition might have worked better. That said, I'll give myself the time to live with this photo before making any decisions. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:23, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose As Ikan suggests, landscape orientation might have worked better. Daniel Case (talk) 02:39, 24 July 2021 (UTC)- Oppose I didn't see anything written on the picture Александр Байдуков (talk) 11:19, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The composition doesn't really work for me, per above remarks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination --Nefronus 23:16, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
