•  Info created, uploaded and nominated by me. It's a black sand beach north of Kaikoura, Canterbury, New Zealand. I like how the driftwood provides - a bit chaotic - leading line to the hills and further to the mountains. -- Podzemnik (talk) 05:09, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Just not feeling it, sorry. I think it has to do with the fact that none of the leading lines are particularly prominent; the shoreline is too far away, and the dead branches too small and scattered, to make an impact. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 13:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice. Cmao20 (talk) 13:56, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

•  Weak support I like the way the driftwood and dusk combine to create a spent, autumnal mood. Daniel Case (talk) 18:43, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Palauenc05 (talk) 21:29, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Nice mood but not very special. Neither the sand nor the background bring something extraordinary -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- Eatcha (talk) 21:46, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Would support if the saturation was just slightly (like very very slightly) more on the higher side. Just seems too dull to me. Fluffy89502 ~ talk

• @Fluffy89502 You are probably right, it is a bit dull. I increased the saturation a tiny bit together with the contrast. Like very very slightly :) --Podzemnik (talk) 01:55, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Looks 100 times better now (especially the sand, it looked almost like a dull version of raw asphalt) :) --Fluffy89502 ~ talk
