•  Oppose -- Very poor image quality (see noise in the sky), tilted horizon. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:10, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Maybe a noise reduction tool like lightroom or gausian selective blur --The Photographer (talk) 13:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

•  Comment Rotated .82 degrees, no problem. However, the sky presents an artistic dilemma, certainly I could 'do it', but I have thought long and hard and even tested a few different blur filters, but it always comes back to my initial feelings before I began, which is, this is the morning sky over the Ganges, I don't feel a cartoon-clear sky is proper. I'm not saying there aren't clear skies over india, there are some very rare weather conditions that could feasibly create a remarkably clear sky. But I don't think it is in any way appropriate for this image, examination of the grain shows as much, to my eyes anyhow. The bird is just a bird and belongs. My desire to be accommodating does not win out over my heart today. I'm sorry, it's a dealbreaker. Penyulap ☏ 22:19, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

•  Support alt. Great composition and light. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:24, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
•  Support I'm of the school of thought that everything should have some slight imperfection, with the tilt gone, the perfect thirds, the warm morning sky over the ganges, all that is really left is the ferrymans position in the reflected morning rays. Seems to me he's a little in a hurry, a critique perhaps of the pace of commuters ? of life ? Cheeky, I love it now. Penyulap ☏ 13:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
•  Info The image requires proper category and location info. JKadavoor Jee 16:07, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

•  Oppose Please read Image guidelines instead of making meaningless arguments. JKadavoor Jee 04:24, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
•  Oppose per JKadavoor. This image is not categorised. Penyulap ☏ 11:54, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

•  Comment Quality and composition are fine to me, but no category and poor description make a no go. Yann (talk) 05:37, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

well I didn't appreciate the Jkadavoor's tone, so I'm not going to suggest he direct any similar remarks at the editor who requested for the work to be done in the first place. You'll all need to manage without me, I have more constructive things to do than play games. Penyulap ☏ 03:46, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
