Info I like the documentary nature of this image, especially with the man bewildered in the view. Created by Gadjowsky - uploaded by Gadjowsky - nominated by Kiril Simeonovski -- Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:38, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Oppose Hmm, I'm not sure "documentary" works with a young man wearing an anorak and carrying a fancy shopping bag walking towards a monastery. This is a colourful building (see File:Манастир Трескавец.jpg, File:Treskavec Monastery.jpg. Also this angle doesn't really demonstrate the mountain top well (see File:Treskavec 04.jpg). -- Colin (talk) 11:28, 9 May 2017 (UTC)- Support I like the textures and the shapes in the photo. The nature of B&W is very well handled and it looks almost like one of the copper plate etchings of yesteryears. Of course it can be "documentary", that word does not have to imply doom and gloom. This is "documentary" in the sense that it has captured an ordinary thing, the man can be on a visit to the monastery for many reasons. He might be carrying that bag with a gift for his fiance waiting for him in he monastery where they will be getting engaged or something. In any case, I hope he is happy. --cart-Talk 11:57, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Comment I tend to agree with cart, but I'm not sure I like how this was exposed/developed/edited. To me this looks more like "black and grey", or technically speaking there's nothing going on in the right hand fifth of the histogram. But maybe this was done on purpose to make it look dark and gloomy? Then more fog/clouds would be nice. I don't totally dig the composition, it kind of makes me want to turn the camera a bit to the left. Not sure about this on yet … --El Grafo (talk) 16:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC)- Oppose, too unsharp in the background, especially on the mountain. Daniel Case (talk) 20:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't think that the composition works here, there is too much in the image without a clear main subject. Also the quality issues mentioned above are a problem, visible even at normal viewing size. To me, the B/W reduces EV. --DXR (talk) 08:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - As mentioned above, this photo isn't very sharp, and it's quite dark. There's a way for black and white photos to nevertheless feel colorful. This feels dreary to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:57, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
