Info sunrise at Borobudur Temple, in Central Java, Indonesia- Info created and uploaded by Christopher Michel - minor crop and nomination by Thennicke -- Thennicke (talk) 05:36, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Support -- Thennicke (talk) 05:36, 27 January 2017 (UTC)- Support - I think this photo has a special quality to it that merits a feature. Just don't pixel-peep too hard, as there is grain throughout and few fine details at full size. But fine details are not what this photo is about. It's about the way the dawn lights the scene and about the overall form on the picture frame. I'd consider it much more analogous to an Impressionist painting than one by someone like Poussin. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:30, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Support per Ikan --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:11, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Comment I would like to see GPS coordinates for FPs of places. @Cmichel67: – Lucas T 09:08, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Fixed @Lucasbosch: I've improved the description and added a geolocation and more categories -- Thennicke (talk) 09:32, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Support A sunrise and large dark structures, count me in. :) Two "wrongs" make a "right". --cart-Talk 11:57, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Oppose because auf low image quality - very noisy, and all the buildings in the foreground have strange contours (camera shake?) --Uoaei1 (talk) 13:38, 27 January 2017 (UTC)- Oppose As per Uoaei1; the problems are even more apparent when the image is sized down to 50%. Unfortunately this seems to be one of those "spectacular but extremely poor quality" pictures that you can't stop admiring, while at the same time you can't help but keep banging your head on the desk...

- Support I'm willing to overlook the graininess and other slight technical imperfections. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:17, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I should check my nominations more carefully in future; I hadn't noticed the technical problems. I'm going to keep this up though because personally I think the wow overrides the technical problems, and Indonesia is under-represented here. -- Thennicke (talk) 02:04, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- Support Per Ikan. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 05:43, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Beautiful and well-composed but noisy. Daniel Case (talk) 07:43, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination On second thoughts the image quality is really quite bad. I don't think this is the finest we have, even if it's special. -- Thennicke (talk) 12:15, 28 January 2017 (UTC)- Support Nooooooo...... 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 18:36, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
