•  Oppose Nice composition with the trees and the bench, but the light/weather conditions are not very good, which makes the scenery (water, mountains, sky) very ordinary. No wow, sorry. --S23678 (talk) 13:33, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

• Just curious! What are good weather conditions for you? --Simonizer (talk) 14:55, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

• It's very subjective (which sucks, I know, it's easier to have opposes for technical problems), but things like direct sun on the background mountains (a no cloud day), or sunrays throught the clouds, or maybe some sunset colours, or some really dark clouds indicating an incoming thunderstorm, or thin morning fog over the lake, etc. Right now, the mountains are dark and the lake has nothing special. It needs a special touch in the area covered by the background IMO to be FP (since it covers about half of the picture). --S23678 (talk) 16:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. Thanks for the answer --Simonizer (talk) 21:16, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Support Very, very good! --Ukuthenga (talk) 21:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I believe the weather has a large part in giving this picture this moody atmosphere. Simonizer style ! Benh (talk) 21:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support very well spotted! --AngMoKio (talk) 21:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support --Romeo Bravo (T | C) 23:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I like the contrast between the tree trunks (left is bright, right is dark; leaning to the side of left). Light conditions remind of those in Scandinavian countryside. Ziga (talk) 08:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support How the wow factor for me. -- MartinD (talk) 13:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Great wow factor. Nice! --Reflection of Perfection (talk) 16:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose What does it show? Park bench or Zuger See? What is the main motive? And I also don't like that the line of the road blend with the line of the park bench. --Daniel Baránek (talk) 12:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Like Benh rightfully said, it shows a moody atmosphere. It shows the Zuger See framed by the trees and the bench, which are necessary to show the mood caused by the strange light. --Simonizer (talk) 16:10, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

    And what is it good for? In which article can you use that? I simply don't like this picture. --Daniel Baránek (talk) 19:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

    De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum. -- MJJR (talk) 20:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

    Maybe MJJR just said that :-) ...but the usage of a picture in an article or the encyclopaedic value is not relevant here. --AngMoKio (talk) 09:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Support alles gesagt --Mbdortmund (talk) 22:20, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment So the negatives of the bad weather, such as the loss of detail in the mountains and trees, is offset by the mood. I can't oppose this since it is subjective, and I am not a landscape photographer, but I would certainly prefer this photo on a bright sunny day. I agree the line of the sidewalk being broken is unfortunate. The photo doesn't work for me because it sends mixed messages with a nice park scene and a thunderstorm, but from reading the comments I understand that is not how we are to evaluate this photo.

•  Comment Everything, but trees are blurry. There's absolutely nothing in that image to make it FP picture.--Sensl (talk) 19:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I guess no more support is needed, but I'll add mine too. The image is very nice :) /Daniel78 (talk) 21:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
