- Oppose If there were QI sets, this would pass easily, and both these photos are likely to be good VIs if nominated, but to me, the fact that both images are hazy (which I think is more reasonable for the rainy season one) makes this not have wow. Compare some of User:Basile Morin's images of the rainy season in Laos to see why, while these are good pictures and a good series that I like, they are not among the very best images of their type on Commons. I do understand why this was nominated; I thought of the idea, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:11, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Great idea for a set, but there's some very obvious cloning in the lower corners of the green image. Once you know it's there, you can even see it from the thumbnail. --El Grafo (talk) 07:11, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Yeah, I see that. That's not good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's also present in the dry image too in the exact same spots. MER-C 18:29, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment For me the wow comes from the juxtaposition of the two images, and I like the set very much. However, as El Grafo pointed out, there is noticeable cloning on the green image, and unfortunately such a large area isn't exactly something you can fake. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:36, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
