Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 14:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Support An interesting circumstance in a nice landscape. A cliff, two historic monuments, a landslide over a village, two professional climbers at work, checking the erosion. Drama ! Suspens ! Well... Unusual. -- Jebulon (talk) 14:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Oppose -- Sorry Jebulon but the few interesting details are not enough to mitigate the poor framing and uninteresting composition. Maybe a more generous frame (or a pano) would work better. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Comment The subject is the climbers. I think they have enough air to breath around them. I don't understand what you mean by "uninteresting composition"... Everybody can say that about any picture...--Jebulon (talk) 11:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
- It is difficult to explain subjective feelings about aesthetics. The composition seems uninteresting to me because there is no central subject to which our attention is automatically attracted. If the subjet is indeed the climbers, then a much tighter crop should have been made around them, even running the risk of sufocation :). If not, a more careful framing is required (notice, for example, the cropped roof below). The somber colors and angle (from below) don't help either. Anyway, this is only a personal (and honest) assessment and the photo will probably get very different ones from different reviewers. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for further explanations. I've no doubt about the honesty of your assessment. The crop of roofs is to suggest the village under, and the dangerous situation of it. IMO this picture has many to show, all around the two climbers (see annotations, for example). The circumstances of this image are not usual (maybe they are unique) and I hope it will get other honest reviews (with honest supports !) ;)...--Jebulon (talk) 16:45, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

- Another honest
Oppose. If the subject is the climbers, they are too small, and one is in shadow. To me a cut in half building suggests a building brutally cut in half by a photographer :). --99of9 (talk) 00:38, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes subject is the climbers, but climbers are here because of some events in surroundings, which were interesting to show because of the circumstances, IMO...--Jebulon (talk) 14:32, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
