•  Support nice. Tomer T (talk) 16:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Request Maybe you could add the "personality rights template" in the file description page ?--Jebulon (talk) 17:44, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Done But imho she is not identifyable on the photo. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:00, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
    • Jebulon is right, she is. Tomer T (talk) 18:06, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose I tried it several times but didn't come to the conclusion that this composition is really featurable. I don't observe any harmony between the girl and the background. Is she actually posing? it doesn't look like that to me. Maybe that pose makes somehow sense from a different angle, no clue. Btw, it is blueish, you should increse the temperature a bit. Regarding personality rights, please, go ahead, is it allowed to stay there? I know the place and don't remember such an spot. Poco² 21:51, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks Poco for your careful review. First: I've uploaded a new version with slightly modified WB, but I think WB is OK (even a bit too warm when you take the sun side of Half Dome as basis).
    Some background information to the photo: The rock where the girl is sitting looks more dangerous than it is - it is far from being dangerous :) The "rock" is about 1 meter high and is easy to go there. It is located on the public accessible part of Glacier Point, it is like a podium. The clue is that behind the "rock" there is no deep hollow (as the choosen perspective pretends) but just the normal visiting point where other tourist walk around :) The idea for the photo was: A lot of tourist (also me) go there and pose in front of Half Dome and take a photo. I saw this girl there during her friends were photographing her and asked if I can also take a photo. To the composition: For me there is a lot of tension between her and Half Dome. The curvature of her body corresponds to the curvature of the Half Dome - I tried to capture this moment. Also the sun lightens her well - head and legs are bright, her shirt is in shadow. I hope you understand my motivation of the nomination and the context of the photo better now?! --Tuxyso (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
    Add: On this photo you can see the "dangerous" situation quite well. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
    • Thanks to you for the detailed explanation and motivation, still, I'll keep the opposing vote. Poco² 13:49, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
      • No problem. Just to be sure: Your only remaining reason for opposing is missing Wow of the composition, right? --Tuxyso (talk) 13:54, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
        • No wow at all due to the fact that this composition is IMHO artificial, looking at the picture I don't see the harmony you seem to observe, even after your explanation. She on that rock is rather a disturbing element to a nice background Poco² 17:24, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support wowww. Impressively and dangerous. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:54, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Poco a Poco. Although the image is technically good, I don't find the theme or composition featurable. Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:53, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support because this is the closest I've ever seen (and for that matter may ever see) anyone come to properly imitating a Maxfield Parrish "girl on a rock" illustration in a photograph. Really ... you should have had her dressed like one of his models, and just gone wild with the color saturation and the light on the rocks. Daniel Case (talk) 05:09, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks Daniel for your informative comment. Up to now I have not known these illustrations, but you are right there are some similarities :) --Tuxyso (talk) 11:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support Michael Barera (talk) 21:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support --Lošmi (talk) 02:38, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Support per Daniel Case's explanation of the similarity in composition to Maxfield Parrish illustrations. JesseW (talk) 06:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per others. --Yikrazuul (talk) 17:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment Right now, I'm the master of the future of this picture... If I oppose... Mmmmh delicious ! Happy new year !--Jebulon (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
