•  Info This looks like a black and white photo, but it isn't. During heavy rain showers it seemed. that all colors disappeared and there was this grim atmosphere. Langweerderwielen (Langwarder Wielen). Stormy wind and heavy rain showers above Langweerderwielen.

•  Support - Quite artistic. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:08, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lack of details for this relatively small resolution. The trees are unsharp and like noisy. I also find this monochromatic picture a bit depressing -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:12, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support It is very difficult to capture the concept of 'wind' and rain since even if you and your camera are almost blown away, things usually look rather still in the resulting photo and the rain becomes frozen in a misty layer obscuring details. Also hard to balance the shutter time; if you want visible rain streaks, you get very blurry plants. Here the patterns of bending reeds and gushing water help to make visible the movement of wind and rain. The mono color also helps to bring out the ominous mood in the photo. Category changed to "Rain" since there are no geographical sub-categories in "Natural phenomena". --Cart (talk) 10:29, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support I also find it a bit depressing but that's what I like about the photo :) I also like how the plants grow directly from the waves. Otherwise per Cart. But Famberhorst, please add en English description. --Podzemnik (talk) 08:16, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Neutral I'd like to support it. But I cannot be a friend of the monochrome, sorry. --Hockei (talk) 13:53, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

• Hockei, it is not a photographical monochrome like black and white or sepia. The color is natural, the landscape just happened to take on this look during the rain, as stated in the description. If you turn up the saturation to max, you will see the colors involved. --Cart (talk) 14:08, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
