Oppose Interesting motif but I'm sorry, the quality of this is insufficient for FP. It is badly tilted, there is 
chromatic aberration everywhere, the sharpness could be better the sky is washed out and blow in several places. It would be great if you read COM:PT to get some advice on how to fix your photos before nominating them here. I also see from the Exif that you have shot this in "Landscape mode". That setting didn't give you a short enough shutter time (since you were on a moving boat) so that's probably why this is not sharp enough. You would get better photos if you used the more advanced settings like "Shutter priority" or " Aperture priority". Do you use the RAW format or is this a straight from camera photo, processed in Photoshop? --Cart (talk) 09:37, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- I see, that we have here real expert of tilted images. I have no idea, how you can told that this photo is lilted, when you cannot have any idea, how this place look like in reality (and from boat). As I wrote, expert... --Karelj (talk) 11:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - Come on! Look at the water! You don't have to be an expert to see the obvious tilt. Cart is trying to help you; I wish you'd show good grace. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:57, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Please don't take it the wrong way when someone is really trying to help you. A good place to start looking to see if a photo is tilted is the waterline of a boat. You have a boat in this photo, look at the waterline on it. I understand that you want the tall cliff on the island to be straight and if you rotate it so that the waterline of the boat is horizontal, the cliff will tilt. That is because the photo also needs some perspective correction. See on COM:IG under section "Distortions". I want your photos to pass FPC, I really do, that is why I'm giving you some advice. Don't answer kindness with aggression and sarcasm, that is not a good way to get help in the future. --Cart (talk) 12:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- With some very basic photo processing (fix tilt, perspective correction, reduce over-saturation, remove some CA, fix color and contrast), the photo looks like this: File:Ko Po Da Nok island Thailand 2018 3 - edited.jpg. Just take a look at both and see the difference. Regarding your talk about "expert", yes, I am sort of an expert on fixing photos; it is what I do at work. I make thousands of photos look good each year. All the best, --Cart (talk) 13:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cart and Ikan.--Peulle (talk) 13:52, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Comment Karelj, I see now that you have taken the edited photo I made, downsized it and uploaded it on your photo. You are of course welcome to use it, but per the rules of giving credit to the right author, you should write that the edit was made by me. Right now it looks as if you had done all that editing yourself. --Cart (talk) 17:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
