Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
  • Yes it can, if it's great, but this composition is lacking. Something a simple a kneeling would have made this photo better, then the car and the persons would have "risen" and all cut through the horizon. Like in this very crude photoshoped version of the pic: . Now they look kind of "submerged". Shooting towards a horizon, I always get my knees dirty, many times it increases the wow factor. I always think of Jean Giraud's work when I see Poco's flat lands since Giraud got much of his inspiration from places like this and he often uses the low horizon to draw dramatic scenes. cart-Talk 09:45, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose because of composition, subject and technical merit. There's a person moving through the shot among other weaknesses. Charles (talk) 09:15, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'd give it a pro if it wasn't that tilted. Would surely be better if there wasn't the moving person visible. I don't really see why it should have been necessary to use HDR here. --Code (talk) 12:53, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Poco a poco, I hope it wasn't inappropriate for me to nominate this photo. If you'd like to edit it to address the criticisms that have been made above, please go ahead and then ping everyone (or I could ping everyone). If you would prefer to withdraw the nomination, do that. I like this photo a lot, but I understand the criticisms. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:22, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Ikan! Thank you very much for this unexpected nom. I can address the mentioned issues but to do so I need access to this raw files and I don't have it right now (nor in the next weeks). Can you withdraw the nomination? I will work on the file when I am back from my trip. Sorry, the timing is just pretty bad for me. Poco2 18:20, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Charles plus man in the center has glaring head and double contour. --Ivar (talk) 14:54, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very nice idea which I wanted to support on first glance but then, regretful  Oppose for poor craftmanship. Double contours on standing man and car roof baggage, chromatic aberration on the car wheels, blurred person, horizon leaning to the right. This might be one of our nicest pictures but it’s surely not one of our best ones. Sorry for putting it so harshly. --Kreuzschnabel 15:19, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination - Thanks for your votes and comments. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
