- Neutral Great finding Thennicke, the view is really nice and the composition works to me, as well (we could argue about the tree in the foreground). The problem here is the lack of detail. Poco2 08:46, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Yeah. This is a nice picture, but I think it's probably too small to be a Featured Picture. I'm not sure whether to vote against it, but I think others will. I'd love it if someone took a bigger, more detailed picture of this great motif. Look at User:Johann Jaritz' big panoramas, looking across Wörthersee, the lake in Pörtschach, by way of comparison. They, or at least the best of them (which amount to several pictures if not more) are big files, gorgeous, and have more detail than this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:54, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I can agree that this lacks detail but please remember the equipment this image was taken on; a 6MP entry-level DSLR built way back in 06' (the image was taken in 09' - 7 years ago). This is a full-res upload for that camera. -- Thennicke (talk) 14:06, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Question - Are you suggesting that we should judge this as a historical photo because it's 7 years old? (Serious question.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:27, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I’m struggling with the same conflict. The composition and lighting are excellent but there are the technical drawbacks. Remember we assess images here as they are, paying little respect for the circumstances they have been taken under. We even delist FPs which don’t come up to actual standards anymore. It’s the result that scores. --Kreuzschnabel 06:50, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination I'll nominate it at VIC instead if I get the time -- Thennicke (talk) 10:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
