Support This is part of a series of photos of the former Lager Herbstwald by XRay. This photo originally attracted me with its beauty, but it's also of a historically significant place. See the de.wikipedia article for more information. Quite apart from the qualities of this photo's composition, I find that there's a poetry in seeing how nature has reclaimed a relic of a brutal war. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Interesting history, but I prefer if an image tells its story by itself, and this is not the case here. For me this is a documentary shot of good technical quality, but it does not stand out in any way for me as special. Light is uninteresting as well. It looks very much like basically anywhere in a forest close to my home. Sorry. I appreciate your explanation though of why you find it special, I just cannot tune into that. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Comment - I appreciate your explanation of your views, too, though I don't share them. If every view of the forest close to your home would be this good, I think you are living in a very beautiful place - but in that case, I could easily understand why you would have trouble finding forest pics special. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:20, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: It is quite a coincidence, but Jebulon actually has a nomination up (I see you voted on it) from a forest, which is a 20 min drive from where I live. A year ago I was lucky and got this at the other end of my small country. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Very nice picture! Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:37, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Slaunger. INeverCry 05:24, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Question - Does anyone like this picture, or does it seem like just a regular QI to everyone? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)- Oppose Good depiction of the subject, nice colors and details, in summary a nice image. However even if better than a qi that stay below a FP. It lacks something in the guide lines of the composition or in the atmosphere to make it visually outstanding. Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:26, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support – Though I guess it won't matter, I want to go on record that I do find it a visually striking image and I think the shot would be on FP level. I think the color of the dead leaves has come out very well. It's eye-catching and I enjoy looking at it. ~Mable (chat) 11:58, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Thank you. It might matter, depending on how voting goes in the next 5 days. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:47, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose I answer Ikan's question by affirming the latter. Daniel Case (talk) 05:21, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks to Ikan Kekek for nominating. Yes, IMO it's a remarkable picture. There are a lot of remarkable pictures. But there is no opportunity to nominate remarkable picture. And, sorry, I think this image isn't excellent. May be in future a fourth category for remarkable images will be created, but yet it isn't. --XRay talk 06:35, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - This is becoming depressing, but thanks for your reviews, everyone. I think from now on, I will at least contact the photogropher whenever possible to get his/her view before nominating any more pictures. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks again. It's just an experience, don't become depressing. I think it's a good way to try to nominate another kind of image. --XRay talk 07:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
