•  Info Cliffs of Étretat: Aiguille and Porte d´Aval. The shooting location can only be reached on foot when the tide is low. All by me. --Milseburg (talk) 17:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Imposing view. As a child, I was once on that beach there and was very impressed by the rocks; this photo gives the impression I had then very well. --Aristeas (talk) 09:51, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose Going to trigger some discussion maybe... but 1. the view is not very impressive. It doesn't strike to me as "hmm how was this taken", on the contrary. And I've been there myself. 2. the light is very so so. Mid day time, giving it the tourist snapshot vibe. And 3. Overall, given how popular a spot this is, I think we can be picky (I have some personal shots I wouldn't dare nominating here) - Benh (talk) 20:08, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

  @Benh: I like the authentic colors daylight is providing. Do you like evening light more? --Milseburg (talk) 23:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

  The light is nice, but the composition less so (too much empty space at the top, and the feeling we're missing something at the bottom). As a whole the current nomination is superior. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:01, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

  It was just the question whether the orange color of the rocks in the evening light is really preferable to the normal white color in broad daylight. Also note that the shooting position is special. All other images in the category were taken from further above or from the other side. --Milseburg (talk) 13:11, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

  I do. better mood and better rendering of volumes. But light isn't the only criteria. And my main concern is mostly about the nom not really standing out as a pic of Etretat. Benh (talk) 21:08, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment I think there is too much empty space at the left, and it can be cropped out. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:01, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

  I'm not sure. Before doing so, I wait for other opinions. --Milseburg (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

  I think the two leading lines on the left side are very nice overall, but the pool of water with a rock in the middle (annotated) is distractingly close to the edge and draws attention away from the leading line. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:58, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
