  • Thank you, Aristeas! But I won't probably stay long, real life demands my full attention!... -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:58, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Alvesgaspar, you have my full understanding, of course! At the same time it’s a pity because I really miss your photos here ;–). Many of your FPs are really outstanding, especially the ones that feature the beauty of minimalism … All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 06:15, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Thank you again, Aristeas! We have been both here for more than 15 years, and the technical quality of the photos have improved dramatically during this period. A possible perverse effect of such improvement is, imho, the exaggerated attention to technical perfection, sometimes driving the reviewers to forget about the subject, composition, etc. while pixel-peeking into the minute details of the images, looking for sins. But we have also enjoyed from the talent of many users, some of them no longer here. By the way, what are you waiting for nominating this image ? -- All best, Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:20, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
      • Thank you, Alvesgaspar, and sorry for the long delay – I was so busy to get uploaded some images for WLM ;–). I am glad that you like that photo. Well, I am not sure if it has a chance here. But with your backing I will give it a try – thank you again! All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:04, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
