Support - How about something different? I think this could make a good unconventional FP. What about you? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, this was certainly unexpected! This is sort of the 2.0 version of this FP (same manufacturer). I liked the contrast between the very white new glass-things and the dark grimy old storage space, which is why I took this photo. I'm certainly crazy enough to like subjects like this and given the light conditions (close to pitch-dark) I'm more than pleased how the photo turned out, but I will 
Abstain
Comment - It sure doesn't look close to pitch black. What is the light source? I'd be curious to see a raw photo that shows something closer to the view seen by your eyes in that space, if you have one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- The light source is three small windows at the end of the hall, and the day was cloudy. I'll dig out some of the unprocessed pics later when I get home. --cart-Talk 13:37, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Ikan, why do you think it would deserve FP? I personally need more than this. More wow, more photographic qualities, a clear purpose of the image besides just showing something in the world, something anyone with a camera walking by would be able to capture when composing it a bit thoughtfully. This image, while I appreciate the focus stacking (but wouldn't have noticed on my own) and some leading lines composition, looks just like a regular QI which is too boring for FP status. The warehouse distracts from the windows as well. If the photo would emphasize something more, for example how the windows are held in place, then it would be another matter. If this would become FP, I would try to nominate a lot more of my own "normal" photos too. – LucasT 15:56, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- I think the shapes and contrast of light and dark are interesting to look at. I admit I am not as sure about this composition as some others I've nominated, but I thought it would be worth seeing what the consensus opinion is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:02, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Moderate support per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 18:37, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- After getting back home and not being as distracted as I was at work, I've had a think about this. I was very surprised by the nom since I have never thought of this as a possible FPC and at first I thought I had missed something. Still I have to be true to my own gut instinct and try to view this as any FPC, and therefore I'm moving my vote to Oppose. If the contrast had been more dramatic and the sharpness better, it might have worked. But this photo was taken after I had dropped my camera and the mechanical shutter didn't work. The electronic shutter only goes up to 1 sek, so in order to get enough light in I had to crank up the ISO and go for a large aperture. Not the best combo for sharp photos. The crop at the sides is also a bit too tight. I don't think there is much need for any links to unprocessed/raw versions since they are just very dark versions of this. Btw, camera is now fixed. Thanks anyway. Feel free to vote any way you please on this, you may see something that I don't. We all have different tastes. --cart-Talk 18:39, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - With the photographer opposing, I don't feel like it makes sense to continue this nomination. Thanks for your votes and comments. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:44, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
