•  Info Tugs are everyday, working boats, found in every port. This image of the Icelandic pusher tug, Leynir, leaving Reykjavik harbor heading out into Faxaflói Bay and a storm coming off Mount Esja, has good visual elements with approaching rough weather. - c/u/n by GRDN711 -- GRDN711 (talk) 14:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support, without prejudice to any tilt correction. The rainbow and the bird really help the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Lovely composition per Ikan Kekek. Maybe a tiny bit tilted --Lupe (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don't really see what's exceptional here. What are the good visual elements? I wouldn't qualify the small lighthouse or the tiny feint rainbow as such - Benh (talk) 20:45, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment As for visual elements, there’s the boat, the lighthouse, the cloudburst, the rainbow, and the mountain. With four of them lined up away from the viewer and thus virtually covering each other, I don’t see an outstanding composition here, even if each of the elements may be pretty. Imagine the same pic with a clear sky, eliminating cloudburst and rainbow – that would make it matter-of-fact with no fairy touch in it but I think it would work better that way. --Kreuzschnabel 08:49, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment @Kreuzschnabel: @Benh: @Poco a poco: Let me suggest three visual elements to think about.
  

• The Leynir (off-center vertically) is driving through unsettled waters towards the horizon to intersect dynamically just outside of the frame (a little tension there).
• On the other side is the yellow Norðurgarði lighthouse which anchors a triangle of asynchronous colors, playing with the orange-red super-structure of the moving boat and the green ropes on the deck.
• Blue skies are fine but for me, billowing clouds and rain rolling off Mount Esja onto Faxaflói Bay suggests some drama of rough weather that the boat is moving into. The hint of rainbow, and even the distant bird in flight, are extras.

As suggested, I have re-cropped the Leynir to be a little more off-center and I like it better. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:12, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose I agree with Benh and Kreuzschnabel, the main subject, the boat, is centered, that makes the image too static (boring) --Poco a poco (talk) 09:24, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per Ikan. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:19, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Thanks for tilt correction. Being the most colourful elements, the yellow lighthouse and the partially red boat offer IMHO enough tension to make the composition interesting, and the stormy weather gives it the right atmosphere. --Aristeas (talk) 13:11, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Benh. The lighthouse or the boat by themselves work as the subject. Together, they're competing and making this picture busy. Daniel Case (talk) 01:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
