•  Info A trail and "cairels" (french local name for the little walls in ruins on the right of the image) along the Étang de Thau. The place is named "Lido de Thau" and is protected by the Conservatoire du littoral. All by me. --Christian Ferrer 18:44, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, this is a very nice picture but not much more for me. I don`t think this is one of the best pictures commons has to offer. By the way, it looks way to oversharpend in some areas (the water on the right side for example). --mathias K 05:17, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

  mathias, thanks for your rewiew and for your explanations but I want to specify that the aspect of the water is not caused by oversharpening but by a very strong North wind (look at the grass), which causes every times a lot of very small waves and an aspect very wrinkled of the water. --Christian Ferrer 07:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

  You can see moreover better these wrinkles at the bottom right with a lot of details! --Christian Ferrer 12:15, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose No sorry. Picture about nothing. Description about nothing (it is the most common scene in "Sète, Hérault"?!!). Shame! --Kikos (talk) 07:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment Please try to be kind with your critics! This is not a helpful review! Shame is a totally no-go and a bad insult to the author! --mathias K 07:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

"Shame" does also mean "pity". I hope that was the purpose by Kikos. --A.Savin 10:44, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose ugly landscape, the photo does not say anything--Pava (talk) 18:48, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment While I'm not necessarily convinced that this image deserves FP status, I see absolutely no reason why one should a) consider the depicted landscape "ugly", and b) openly insult the photographer... sorry. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

swap my comments to insults really is not very mature, I express just what I think, and sincerely believe to be quite objective, no fury, no insult. I doubt the photographer to stop taking pictures because of my comments, I doubt that my comments offend the photographer, the most they can push to improve, to change the subject, change cities, change place or not repeating the same actions. If we instead want to comment sterile as "no wow" or only positive comments is another matter. I voted photographs of this photographer in the past, when I liked. --Pava (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

• • •  Comment I stumbled on the ongoing discussion only after leaving my comment here... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:37, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment Thanks all, a famous photographer said (I forgot the name) and I think it was not the only, that a successful photo is a photo which activates a reaction, I thus concludes that my artistic talent is on a good way --Christian Ferrer 21:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree with Pava. The scene is ugly and deeply boring. There is no composition or artistry here. Christian, the photo did not "activate a reaction", your nomination did. Hence the photo is not "successful". As someone once said "If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff." -- Colin (talk) 12:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Good quality but uninteresting composition Poco² 21:18, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Michael Barera (talk) 04:32, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose No wow, I found the composition being too tight, it is probably due to the choice of a telephoto focal lenght for a landscape. --PierreSelim (talk) 07:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment This is a nice place and I believe you could take a nice photo at a different time of the day. It could definitely be more wow. -- Jordy Meow (talk) 00:44, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
