Info Usually night photos of boats show the whole boat, but this close-up the tugboat makes me think of some huge benevolent entity keeping watch over the fjord and harbor, even on those very cold nights between Christmas and New Year's Eve. All by me, --Cart (talk) 17:58, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Oppose. I like that you are trying to make more unconventional nominations. What it comes down to here is the low exposure on most of the boat (the cabin interior is nice) so not a lot is well visible. The hazy air makes the background less attractive. There's some serious posterization as well, see note. – LucasT 20:24, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- To me, the composition works because of the fog and the darkness/(selected exposure). It separates the boat nicely from the background. Without it there would be no story, no tension in the photo. It would be just another flat harbor image. --Cart (talk) 11:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- I understand your intent but don't share that feeling. I do feel the tension, from these reddish posterization artifacts in the sky ;). The area I marked in the image is just the most visible part, in reality the whole sky has some posterization. – LucasT 12:01, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Some of the posterization removed. I guess there are things you have to live with when you take pictures under difficult light and weather conditions. For totally perfect photos, we should all stay indoors and only do studio shots. --Cart (talk) 12:38, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Lucas, lo siento. --BoothSift 02:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support works for me. I do see what you're trying to visualize, Cart. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:33, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support Per Martin, on the whole I think it works. Cmao20 (talk) 10:37, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support per Martin.--Vulphere 11:23, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Doesn't work for me. Not enough of the boat is visible, leaving the subjet unclear.--Peulle (talk) 13:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support The photo will then not be perfect. But for me very special. This is another way of photographing. And I like it.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:21, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - This photo does have something extra and might look great against a bright white wall, but I have to judge the experience of looking at it on a computer screen, and I just don't think this amount of total blackness works for me, because it is flat and gives the eye no lines, curves or shapes to move around. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:25, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose The haze ruins the photo, and the boat is too dark to be an interesting foreground element, too bright to be a silhouette. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:47, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose Haze may be interesting, but the boat is too dark. --Yann (talk) 11:26, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
