Regarding withdrawn
    • I hope it is not my single oppose which has led you to withdraw? I respect other find it promotable even if I don't.... -- Slaunger (talk) 21:56, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Slaunger: In part. I like to have a clear and enthusiastic consensus. The comment of Ram-Ram + not so many support votes in 4 days + your vote and comment = I'm not convinced anymore. That's all! Please do not hesitate to oppose, on the contrary, thank you! Christian Ferrer (talk) 22:27, 27 March 2016 (UTC) [reply]
        • You should keep it, Christian, right now there is generaly not so much enthusiasm with FP and QI. I just want to say to the other guys here: Imagin a really hot summerday, then - the first shadows abroad with this wonderful, mysterious door. You enter the church and suddenly, it is a completely different world. A different smell, it´s cool, its quiet and you want to speak louder, just to here the echo. Anyway, you will hear every step you make. And all this, because you realized, that there is a beautiful, mysterious door... --Hubertl 23:09, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I oppose the withdrawal. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:38, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why not? --Hubertl 05:30, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because the nominator decides about taking down his nomination. --Kreuzschnabel 06:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, but you’re free to re-nominate the image, being the nominator it’s you to decide about withdrawal. --Kreuzschnabel 06:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Because no vote count unless the nomination is not reopened by the nominator himself. Whatever happens. When Christian decides to close it ultimately, he has to move the nomination to the march-log-site manually. If nothing happens with this (withdrawn) nomination, someone else will move it. --Hubertl 06:38, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In order to take over the nomination, I have to withdraw one of mine that looks unsuccessful. Christian, would you reconsider? This picture is 1 vote from a feature. If you won't reconsider, I will withdraw one of my nominations and take over this photo's nomination. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have to say, that I kind of like Christians view of this. What's the fun of having a photo promoted, which is just barely FP? I can see there are still other nominations on the page, which rapidly gets very many supports. It is probably an indication that the nomination is not among our very finest photos, albeit still very good. Hubertl: Thanks for explaining why it is so good for you. I understand what you mean, but I do not entirely embrace the feeling. Maybe because I live at a slightly higher latitude and do not experience that many hot summer days. If it is warm here we just enjoy that it is finally warm :-) -- Slaunger (talk) 07:08, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan remember that a nomination can be closed by either nominator or image-creator, so we try to respect wishes of both and if the creator has doubts then it is unlikely to succeed. However, as the owner of several "barely FP" that I'm very proud of as images, I disagree a bit with Slaunger. Sometimes, the qualities of an image aren't obvious, and it requires a little work. And sometimes the oppose rationales are questionable. That's one reason I wish nominators on Commons had a habit of explaining why the image is special when they nominate it, and I think that's Ram-Man's point too. -- Colin (talk) 16:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reminder on withdrawing. I also strongly agree on giving reasons for why a photo should be featured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:36, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Christian, I think I owe you an apology. As the photographer, you have every right to withdraw the nomination, if that's what you want to do. I think it's fine to try to dissuade you, but I was obviously in the wrong for considering taking over the nomination, although I had forgotten that at the time. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:52, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for apology, now it's close to the end, let's go to the end. Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:52, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok I striked the withdraw. My goal was not to annoy the supporters, I was just not sure anymore it should be FP. Excuse the inconvenience I caused you. Christian Ferrer (talk) 07:58, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Can't make up my mind. I like the dappled light on the door but not the dark shadow on the right. Is there any way that some time-of-day/year would avoid the solid shadow but still keep the dappled light? -- Colin (talk) 16:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It was the last hour of the sun in autumn, I think in summer the sun may be in the good direction, however the summer foliage of the big trees behind me will likely hide the sun...then not sure I can do better. Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok i think for some day and decide  Support good lighting (and 7...) --LivioAndronico (talk) 20:06, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose – Hubertl's description sounds pretty, but when I look at the door and the way the shadows are covering it, I just can't see it. The picture doesn't seem able to impress me in the way intended. ~Mable (chat) 12:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed results:
Result: 7 support, 2 oppose, 1 neutral → featured. /Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2016 (UTC))[reply]
