Info created and uploaded by Diego Delso (Poco a poco) - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Support - Once again, a photo showing Poco a poco's unique artistic sensibility. This is a high-quality photo with a lot of objects (mostly wooden gravestones) which richly reward the viewer who moves his/her eyes around the picture frame, it's an unusual setting, and I find the picture moving. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)- Support Thank you Ikan for nominating this picture. I also like it very much. The place was quite unique, a cemetery where I had the feeling that nobody had visited for decades Poco2 16:23, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Too noisy for me. If it can be fixed without loss of sharpness, I don't know.- I would like to hear what other reviewers think, I don't share the "too noisy" comment. Please, bear in mind also the resolution of the image. I could ofcourse apply some denoising and downsample it, but not sure that it is required. Poco2 18:40, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Please look at the dark jots on the wood and the wall particularly right and left. --Hockei (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Additionally, down-sampling the picture is the worst way to get the FP-status.

- Ok, Hockei, please, have a look again, new version uploaded. I did some slight adjustments. Poco2 20:29, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support Very, very much better. Noise and posterization reduced, the bit increased contrast gives it more pep, also the increased crop on the sky looks better. Good work IMO. --Hockei (talk) 20:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - You're welcome, Poco. Happy to nominate it. Thanks for your remarks, Hockei, as they resulted in a clear improvement in the picture. What did you do, Poco, up the contrast? Thanks for your votes also, Hockei and INeverCry. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:37, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- No, I just darkened the darker areas or, in other words, I increased the contrast but without touching the brigther areas. --Poco2 21:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support Unusual and interesting. It looks like a setting for the final scene of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly... Yann (talk) 21:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Weak support I don't love the sky, but the rest is great. -- Ram-Man 16:01, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support More Chile. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 18:18, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support Excellent feeling of sadness. Memento homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris...--Jebulon (talk) 21:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Thanks for the Latin. I studied Latin for only one year, so the expressions I learned were more along the lines of "Ars longa, vita brevis", though as a musician, I know the words of the traditional Catholic Mass Ordinary. Thanks for the votes, everyone. I'm glad that you, too, find this picture special. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:22, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support Per Ikan, works better in full view. I really like how the open plain behind it brings out the starkness of the perspective. Tangled, chaotic shapes shouldn't work, but somehow here they do. Daniel Case (talk) 17:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
