Info A dolomite rock in a funny shape sculptured by the erosion. Mourèze, Hérault, France. Another try with this subject after that and that. All by Christian Ferrer (talk) 15:20, 13 april 2014 (UTC)

- Support This one has the best composition and lighting. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Still NO WOW :( --Kikos (talk) 12:11, 14 April 2014 (UTC)- Oppose As before. I don't see how sticking a slightly unusual rock on a rule-of-thirds line makes an FP. Nor how taking the same photograph a few steps closer has changed things dramatically since the previous nominations. What's so great about the composition and lighting? Or the subject? The world is full of funny shaped rocks. Some of them are notable. -- Colin (talk) 12:30, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Great candidate for QI, but not FP. Nothing special about the shape of the rock and the rock doesn't resemble anything. --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Support Frankly, I think that the negative comments here are too strong. It is not very fair to shout "NO WOW", and not very polite neither. This image is very good to me, very well composed, with good light and sharpness. The subject is interesting enough and has high geological value. As for me, it deserves the seal, like the tons of birds or landscapes or "blue hour" views we promote so often...--Jebulon (talk) 20:23, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, frankly, I think submitting more-or-less the same unexciting image to FP three times is "not very polite" and just gaming the system. What if everyone did this in the hope that one time the previous opposers might be on holiday or grow tired of opposing? This is a long way from the most impressive example of rock formations in the region (try Google). So are we to expect every funny looking rock in the region to get nominated here? I await Cirque de Mourèze, Hérault 3745.jpg. This is just a QI. The camera did its job. The purpose of FP is to select our finest images, not to pat Christian on the back because this attempt is slightly better than the last one. -- Colin (talk) 08:08, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

- Support I had seen photos with less wow factor get rubber-stamped on FPC, probably just due to the name of the photographer. In general: yes to a higher threshold, but then please for everyone. Still, this is a nice landscape and I had supported a similar version some time ago; so it's just consequent to support this one either. --A.Savin 14:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose per others, I don't see anything special in this one but a nice light. QI, but not FP. --Kadellar (talk) 21:14, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
