Info created and uploaded by Johann Jaritz - nominated by Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:48, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Support - Yes, this is yet another of Johann Jaritz' photos of Pörtschach. However, far from being a striking panorama of the lake, this is a very pure, almost abstract composition that could be (mis)taken at first as publicity for a cafe-bar, but is actually just a great composition that happens to make use of that cafe-bar. I find it very enjoyable to move my eye around the picture frame, feeling the forms of the objects and visible elements of the building, porch, fence and street, and also the degree to which the photo looks symmetrical and actually isn't and the subtle interplay of light and shade. I find that this photo's composition is best viewed at full-page size; at full size, the picture is clear but the composition gets lost entirely. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:48, 12 March 2016 (UTC)- Support The forms are just simple enough, and the colors strong enough, for this to work for me. Yes, the composition isn't perfect (I wouldn't miss that post at the bottom), but that's actually kind of charming. The only thing I'd want to be sure about is whether the sign is OK for a free image under Austrian FoP law ... I think it is, but it's not my specialty. Daniel Case (talk) 18:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Comment - Thanks for your vote and comments. I actually like the post, which is one of the elements that shows the composition's lack of symmetry. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:51, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support I´m sure, 10 seconds later, James Dean walked by. --Hubertl 12:38, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Good quality and composition overall, but after looking at it for a while I cannot find that special thing that would make this picture one of our finest, sorry. Poco2 08:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I appreciate that you gave it a fair shot. There doesn't seem to be too much interest in this picture, so it looks like a lot of people have sealed the fate of this nomination by abstaining, which is of course legitimate. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:49, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
