Info Mermaid (symbol of the city) at the centre of the Old Town Market Square of Warsaw, Poland. It is impossible to have all facades vertical, because they're not perfectly straight. Created, uploaded and nominated by -- Kadellar (talk) 13:05, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
Support -- Kadellar (talk) 13:05, 17 September 2014 (UTC)- Support --Maire (talk) 16:15, 17 September 2014 (UTC) Nice pic, though I'd advise renaming the file to sth that includes the name of the city. The current file name might actually refer to numerous places in Poland. Maire (talk) 16:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I should have probably added "w Warszawie", but I think it's not so necessary now because it's written on the description, thanks for the review (and the nomination!) --Kadellar (talk) 08:40, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Comment Motive and light is nice, but I cannot really make friends with the centered composition. The direction of view of the statue implies imho a decentered composition where the statue is set more to the left. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:23, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- Centered composition is what a wanted here, as if the mermaid was leading the city; thanks for your comments, I understand your point of view. --Kadellar (talk) 08:40, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Oppose Very charged visually—the statue would have been more nicely highlighted if it was detached from the background through a depth of field. The composition is not optimal neither. I know that the concrete block supporting the statue is not the sexiest but the lower crop gives the feeling that a bit of the statue itself is missing. I maybe would have tried to put some more space on the top as well to make the picture breathe. Now, would have it better with a portrait format to follow the vertical line of the subject? Even if the previous points were improved, I don't think it would have been enough to bring me a wow—it's just a normal photo of a statue, took from a normal point of view like millions must have done before. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- Most pictures here have been taken before by someone else, and even better. Check the category in Commons and you'll see this one is different from all the rest. --Kadellar (talk) 19:08, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- You're right, it's indeed a different angle of view than the others photos in the same category. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 19:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Centered composition --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 18:37, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- You say that as if it was strictly forbidden. --Kadellar (talk) 19:08, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- It is not a requirement, however, it is good practice. IMHO --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 19:10, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment This image is a good example of what we like, what we vote here in this section is what we believe is right, which we compare with other pictures, there's no room for new compositions. I do not have fun now as before, I used to take a photo, I think the first question, "this picture would like the friends of commons?". I remember my recent nomination, which was not accepted for not meeting the established patterns. I am sorry --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 14:10, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support --LivioAndronico talk 08:01, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose This juxtaposition doesn't work for me, sorry. Also, centered composition. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:27, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose as per King of Hearts. Yann (talk) 13:54, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
