  •  Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 23:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral as nominator-- Jebulon (talk) 23:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:14, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Poor composition. Crop is too tight in places, subject is kind of vague without context of the rest of the ship/boat. Just not the most edifying picture of the subject. Steven Walling 21:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Ok for crop critics. But the rest of your opinion seems respectfully non relevant to me. No need of context: I show an anchor, and only an anchor. And the are a lot of nominated and featured pictures here which are "not the most edifying picture of the subject". By the way, this pic is not a Valued Image candidate...--Jebulon (talk) 23:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Okay. If you want more explanation: not only is not a very illustrative from an educational standpoint, it's just boring. I mean, I don't expect to see fireworks and keel over in joy from an anchor photo, but this is a whole 'nother level of dull. Dull lighting, dull composition, dull everything. Dull is not Featured level. Steven Walling 23:49, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • wow ! I don't know who you are, but surely somebody very important to speak so kindly, Your Highness. Just boring ? Dull everything ? Wow... So, I think that 'everything' includes your comments too... "Tout ce qui est excessif est insignifiant". Have a nice day.--Jebulon (talk) 00:07, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment There is a difference between quality images, valued images, and featured images. Quality images are for images that are of the highest technical quality. Valued images are for images that are of high value. Featured images, however, are for images that meet both of the previous criteria, plus for having a special "wow" to them and being simply the best of the best; the finest of the Commons. I'm sure the image meets quality image guidelines for its high quality, and perhaps meets the valued image guidelines for its level of value, but featured image guidelines? IMO, Steven is perfectly fine with his standing that the image is not exciting, as that is one of the things that differentiates featured images from quality and valued ones. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 02:32, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks for kind comment. I'm here since three months only, sorry. Even I have already uploaded here only 2 FP, 10 VI, and 83 QI. I felt Steven Walling's two comments as an attack.--Jebulon (talk) 09:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I also think the composition is too straight-forward. The pic documents this anchor very well...but for FP it is not enough. --AngMoKio (talk) 15:57, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose sorry, composition and light could be better. Amada44 (talk) 20:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Amada44. --Elekhh (talk) 22:12, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
