•  Info Dragon on the Dragon Bridge (Ljubljana). Windy, rainy day + ND filter. Tripod shot. All by --Mile (talk) 10:50, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment There is a “glow” around the dragon’s tongue which looks like an error, I would remove it. --Aristeas (talk) 09:43, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like that he's got wet spots from the rain. But the composition with the background isn't ideal, and you are missing his tail. The light isn't spectacular. If I look at File:Dragon on the Dragon Bridge (Ljubljana).jpg, I wonder about some other composition choice. Perhaps a focal length and angle-of-view could get the wing to point at the spire and achieve as much to the right of the dragon as possble, while avoiding the street sign. -- Colin (talk) 12:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Composition issue. The building near the tail of the dragon is distracting -- Dey.sandip (talk) 13:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others – quality as such is really good but the dull light, distracting background and cut-off tail spoil it I’m afraid. May I ask what you used the ND filter for, what benefit did you get from the longer exposure time? --Kreuzschnabel 15:07, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Info Compo is "ideal" to the degree we have (trafic, people, signs). For beter i would need higher position. Tail goes behind at that spot, it not possible to get it all from that spot. Glow at tongue - i highlighted mouth. Kreuz benefit of wind+clouds+ND - you get soft and nice back, clouds dont appear as sharp structure, easier to stay focused on main subject - dragon. Light-dull, i wanted that way. --Mile (talk) 16:50, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
  •  Comment I’d say to soften the clouds you’d need exposure times of one minute or so, they really don’t move that far within 0,8 s. --Kreuzschnabel 20:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Honestly a bit surprised this is not doing better, a very striking composition and the light isn't so much dull as brooding, which really helps the atmosphere. A blue sky would not work as well for this motif. Cmao20 (talk) 07:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Support per Cmao20. Looking at some of the other shots in Category:Dragons on the Dragon Bridge (Ljubljana), blue sky and the harsh shadows that come with it don't really work with this subject, imho. Those are happy tourist snaps of a statue, while this one shows a dragon. --El Grafo (talk) 08:23, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

• Another sockpuppet of Livioandronico2013. - Benh (talk) 17:34, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Colin. Daniel Case (talk) 18:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Mile, you are very careful about small details of photos, something I appreciate very much. So could you please have a look at my hint given 3 days ago? I would like to support the photo, but I cannot do so as long as the “glowing” tongue looks like an editing error. --Aristeas (talk) 06:40, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Aristeas i covered that glow. --Mile (talk) 08:36, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Distracting background, and the sky is not fun. Dull light, also -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not a FP to me, I had to heard in my castle candidate above that everything is about light and I don't find this subject by far as interesting as the old well reserved castle from a nice angle. Furthermore I find the buildings in the background disturbing and when I visited this spot I found the tails of the dragons embracing the pillars very interesting, which isn't depicted here.
