Info Even in a storm, things can look perfectly calm in a photo. This little impromptu island was created when the sea rose to about one meter above average during the storm yesterday, causing flooding all along the coast. The wind was at 22 m/s so tripod or any multi-photo image was not an option in the dim light, hence the higher ISO and low f-number.

Support -- Cart (talk) 11:28, 11 February 2020 (UTC)- Support Nice composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:53, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Comment Nice scene too, but I'm a little concerned about the processing. It sort of looks a bit overprocessed, am I wrong? --Peulle (talk) 13:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- You are not wrong. The light was very low (check out the other photos from this photo session) so I had to raise the shadows and darkness quite a bit. The wind kept shaking the camera so I could't go for longer time to get more natural light and contrast and at a higher ISO things would get too grainy, so instead I opted for post-processing. Even with really good post, you can never get it to look completely natural, this was as close as I could get. The colors are real, only the light has been processed. --Cart (talk) 13:47, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, Peulle, I've dialed back the highlights and contrast a bit, perhaps it's better. Also 'ping' Basile about the change. --Cart (talk) 14:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support Wij hebben vanmiddag foto's gemaakt van de storm Ciara. We moeten ze nog bekijken.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ik kijk ernaar uit ze te zien. --Cart (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- btw, I have stayed at home during the storm --Michielverbeek (talk) 21:53, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Weak oppose Nice scene indeed but not an outstanding image IMHO. Nothing looks "stormy" here, the sky is posterized with purple areas. Something like "so what?" came to my mind. --Kreuzschnabel 17:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- As I said in the initial info, I wasn't going for "stormy" with this but a calm area in the storm. I had in mind the compo with the house surrounded by water. It was a side effect of the storm (as in flooding), not a depiction of it. I think it was only fair to mention the storm in the title and description, since it was what caused the high water level. Anyway, FP category adjusted. --Cart (talk) 17:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Oppose Nothing special IMHO. —kallerna (talk) 21:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)- Oppose Not special enough. --Michielverbeek (talk) 21:53, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - I'd like more sky, but a bit of tension is OK in this kind of subject. However, I'd like some noise reduction in the sky, if possible. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:07, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice picture but not very dramatic.--Ermell (talk) 09:38, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support Nice --Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:47, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Ermell Poco a poco (talk) 14:58, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose a good picture, but no wow recognizable. --Fischer.H (talk) 15:59, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support Atmospheric and good composition. Cmao20 (talk) 19:23, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Michielverbeek. --Grtek (talk) 19:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

- Support Interesting juxtaposition. Daniel Case (talk) 18:45, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support I think I wouldn't like it much if the wave under the house wasn't there. --Podzemnik (talk) 21:09, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support — Rhododendrites talk | 14:57, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Here is where the rule of thirds would have helped. To have the main subject placed so far upwards while being right in the middle just looks disconcerting to me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:46, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination Might as well, it's not going to go any further. Thanks for your comments. --Cart (talk) 17:56, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
