  • Yes that is right, they have plenty of 'wow', but the "boring paper work" for each nomination has to be done right too by the nominator regardless of that. It is all written in the rules of FPC. An FP is so much more than just a pretty picture, we also need background info on it and good categories and description so that Wikipedians around the world can find it and will know how to use it. A picture without context is useless. We always help 'newbies' with all this, but in time all users have to grow up and fix the basic requirements themselves. After 17 successful FPs, you should be able to do this. --Cart (talk) 18:00, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Cart. When nominate other people's work presenting it properly is important, such as this image where I added an English caption before nominating. An FP should be made as useful as possible for anyone working on a project to find and use. As for the picture itself, it's definitely got 'wow' although it's not that sharp and detailed in the shadows. I think I would support it overall though.

  •  Oppose I know I'm being really indecisive on this one, but Amirpashaei is right about it. Anyone could visit this place and take an identical shot with higher technical quality. There's nothing imaginative or unique about the composition, the wow comes from the location, and even that could be captured better. Cmao20 (talk) 23:25, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Amirpashaei, I can tell you why I supported this one if it helps. I think there's something magnificent and tragic about decaying heavy industry like this, it makes me think about the age of techno-optimism when buildings like this were shiny and new, and about all the people who spent their working lives here long ago. It's an emotional argument more than anything else. You're right about the technical problems though. Cmao20 (talk) 15:32, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • this picture is just a snapshot you can take it with your mobile. I agree with you about the emotional and magnificent and tragic. but these items are in this place and art of photographer just selecting this place to photographing. the art of photographer most be using elements that helps to reaching the main goal of that picture. we can't see any special look or composition could make the photo stronger.or at least I can't see it.--Amirpashaei (talk) 15:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're not wrong, in truth; it's not that carefully composed. Supporting it was a marginal decision for me. The images you have been submitting of your own at FPC are all much higher quality than this. I'm sad that WLM didn't give your pictures as high a status as they deserve, but we are always happy to see your work here at FPC. Cmao20 (talk) 16:07, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • To me the 'wow' does not always have to be a positive happy feeling. (The again, I'm Swedish and we know a lot about being dark and depressed... ;-) ) The 'wow' in this is the feeling of sadness, of dreams gone by, of the passing of time and that nothing is eternal. A photo that evokes an emotion, good or bad, has 'wow' to me. --Cart (talk) 16:15, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I have not voted for this photo, but I don't agree that it's "just a snapshot". The composition is fairly good, in terms of framing. I'm in no way awed by it, but it's not random. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
