• Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Other lifeforms#Algae
•  Info All by me, (even if it has been suggested that I nicked the photo from NASA. ) -- Cart (talk) 21:11, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Support -- Cart (talk) 21:11, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose I struggle to find any favourable features. Charles (talk) 21:41, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Charles. I'm just not seeing it. --Peulle (talk) 21:46, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others. Something special is missing -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:57, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Support I experience the picture as a beautiful painting.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:52, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Support per Famberhorst.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 15:52, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Looks like an Impressionist painting of an explosion at a cabbage soup factory ... Daniel Case (talk) 02:06, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

• You're not far off, it is edible and very nutritious as most algae are. --Cart (talk) 06:56, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

•  Support The Brofjorden Nebula. I like how photography can be ambiguous in scale. Inches or light years? Still beautiful. -- Colin (talk) 08:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Most of the picture is blurred for no discernible artistic reason.--Ermell (talk) 09:10, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

• Ermell, I would also have liked to have more parts sharper, but as the algae grow under water (which is not so clear) they are constantly moving and even on this extremely sunny day, a tradeoff had to be made with DoF to get the shutter speed short. The water "steals" too much of the light so this is the only way at a reasonable ISO. Photographing things under water is a bit different than on land. --Cart (talk) 09:41, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment This makes the difference between QI and FP when such problems can be solved.--Ermell (talk) 10:40, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

• I'll fix it the next time I walk on water. :) --Cart (talk) 11:13, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose - I kind of hate to be a killjoy, but the thing is, it does remind me of a kind of abstract painting, but not a kind I like. I think I'd need more happening in the lower right corner for the composition to fully work for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:40, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination I don't think this is going any further, thanks all for your input and comments. --Cart (talk) 11:01, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
