Historical NSU motor-cycle
Daniel Case: please, don't take this as an offense but as a genuine question regarding the consistency in your critiques. How come don't you like a tight crop when it makes sense to emphasize the fact that a car is being parked in a tight space, but that the unnecessary tight crop in this photo doesn't bother you? I'd be curious to understand your point of view. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 03:04, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, good question. In this case, despite the crop, I can tell what's around the vehicle. In the case of the Chevy, it was an informed attribute—you can't tell from the picture that it's in a tight space. Daniel Case (talk) 03:19, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the explanation! My turn, I guess—this picture brings me a discomfort because it's lacking space to "breathe" whereas this same discomfort in the Chevrolet's photo is a wanted "feature" to add to the context. I thought the tight space was obvious enough from the walls on each side but I understand if it isn't. (Sorry for the slightly out of topic) -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 03:34, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here you see the bear and the pennant
  •  Oppose Crop is way too tight, and there’s a part of the bike cut off (emerging behind the mirror). Blown reflections. Not a bad pic but below FP threshold for me. --Kreuzschnabel 04:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment. OK. I see once more that it is useless for me to present a photo here. For explanation: The „part of the bike“ behind the mirror is a little bear. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 06:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I was speaking about the pole above the bear. Regarding your first point: Nominating an image here is a request for discussion, it’s like asking "tell me what you think of it". And that’s what we did. Nobody was insulting you, nobody asked you to go away. Why such a perfectly matter-of-fact discussion is "useless" for you is beyond my understanding. --Kreuzschnabel 08:47, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This pole is a flagg-staff at which the bear and a pennant are fastened. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
