Support I immediately said Wow! when I saw this image. -- Yann (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2021 (UTC)- Weak Support Really makes the people look miniature. Shame that it is not of better quality. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:59, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Support as creator. It was also nominated on en:Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Polarised_London_Sky_Pool, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 20:30, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Also note that 4 November 2021 marks the 323rd anniversary of the death of Rasmus Bartholin who discovered birefringence. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 02:09, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Support I agree about the quality, but the unusual angle makes the picture special. --Ermell (talk) 20:31, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Weak oppose the wow factor is definitely there, but I'm not sure about the quality. I believe it would be possible to (re)take similar picture with better quality, hence weak oppose. Buidhe (talk) 22:20, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Weak support per King of Hearts and Ermell. --Aristeas (talk) 09:07, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Agree with Buidhe. --A.Savin 09:21, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Neutral Really interesting and a possible FP. IMO too much technical problems - for example low sharpness. And IMO the minor disturbing elements should be cloned out. --XRay 💬 19:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)- Oppose I agree the subject it has potential, but isn't captured well enough for FP. Perhaps just one swimmer would be best, like a specimen in amber. The image as a whole seems under exposed. Cmglee, I don't know what software you use to edit your photos, but this one has no exif data at all. It really needs at least a minimal set of data, including colour space, otherwise it isn't guaranteed to render well on different devices. -- Colin (talk) 07:42, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Fair points about the technicalities. I think having one vs five swimmers is subjective. I prefer the look of the people in different poses. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose, just too unsharp. A shame because the middle section would make a pretty cool album cover. Daniel Case (talk) 06:12, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Didn't realise how soft my lens with polariser is. I can try again next time I'm in London though doubt I can get such luck with the arrangement of the subjects, especially the man looking back through the glass. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose exactly per Daniel and Colin, but please try again, the motif is clearly FP-worthy. Cmao20 (talk) 12:31, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Not going to succeed. Yann (talk) 08:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
