Support - The backdrop, and especially the cloud formations, dramatic light and crepuscular rays make this a spectacular picture, in my opinion, far beyond the normal beauty of a sunset. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:34, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
Oppose The photo does have a certain impact the first time you see it, but that first impression fades rather quickly. The different elements in the photo seem almost a bit mismatched to me and unharmonious. Sorry. --cart-Talk 13:40, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- I don't really understand, but I appreciate that you said something, given that no-one else has had anything to say so far. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:11, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support - The sky is extraordinary and the foreground is very routine, which makes this a difficult call. As with Cart, the image did a mediocre job of holding my interest after the striking first impression. There's nothing tangibly wrong with the image, it's just a little boring for my taste. I'm not a huge fan of minimalistic landscape photography, but again... I can see how this might still excel within that scope. All that said, I can only speak for myself, and given Ikan's glowing praise for the image, it's obvious that it does resonate with certain people more than others. Who am I to say that my "wow" is the correct "wow"? I'll toss in a support to keep the nomination alive and see what others have to say. Certainly, we have plenty of FPs that don't excite me as much as this photo. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:10, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per cart, who as she so often does says exactly what I was thinking. Daniel Case (talk) 14:49, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - I'm very surprised by the (non-)reaction to this photo, but I see no reason to draw it out. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2017 (UTC)- Support − Meiræ 16:17, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
