•  Oppose That is not because it's BW and artistic these trees need not to be identified. Also a picture of the future (look at the date) --B.navez (talk) 20:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

 Comment In a picture like this, where you're not looking at the features of the tree because it is a certain tree, but it could be any tree ID isn't necesary --SuperJew (talk) 07:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

That makes no sense ! Don't let romantism overwhelm your reason. If it were animals, no matter an elephant or a slug ? This is a pleasant picture not only for its aesthetic qualities (otherwise abstract figures would do the same) but also for its cultural context. Not all kinds of trees, not all sorts of mountains, not all meadows and not any combination of them might arise such positive feelings. The very reality of this picture is only able to bring the breathing of it, even if you are unaware of it. And it works, we are transported to this place of Tyrol. That is why I think it is important to give the clues : naming the places and the species as a minimum of respect to the watchers. Because also black and white photography is somehow an easy way for manipulation, it's better to make it completely honest. You know, these trees are larches (Larix decidua) and it would be a completely different impression if it were spruce or beech or pines. Don't you prefer to know what makes you feel so, rose scent or jasmine, pepper or vanilla ? One could tell just from this only picture so many things about how nature and men have made this lanscape and why so many people find it so fine. I just wanted two or three words more from the uploader. I will do it myself and change my vote but I'm a bit disappointed to see how basic exigences are so easily blown out when under the charm. --B.navez (talk) 19:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

•  Support Great. That only one opposing vote I can see has no arguments about the quality of the picture itself. Interesting. --Aktron (talk) 11:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Nice picture with good quality. But what does it show? If it should show the alps, what about the trees, standing in the center? If it should show the trees, why are they in darkness? I think the value of this picture isn't enough high to receive the status FP. Manuel R. (talk) 18:24, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Vignetting, and I fail to see the reason for turning a colour image into boring artificial B&W. Which is completely different from the B&W film of early days. Lycaon (talk) 08:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose The trees are too centrally-placed to make a good composition. This image would not succeed in colour, so why in B&W? Sorry. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 20:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
