•  Info created by Vivo - uploaded by Vivo - nominated by Vivo -- Vivo (talk) 07:53, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - The composition is lovely, and I like the soft light (though maybe a bit of the brighter areas are posterized). However, I'm not sure whether I am ready to support a picture for its atmosphere when the focus feels so soft. I think I could, except that the near right corner is quite unfocused even at full-page size. So to sum up, for me to support this photo, I think you'd need to do a horizontal crop at least 1/4 or so of the way up. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:36, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment @Ikan Kekek: Cropped, better? --Vivo (talk) 09:31, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
• Weak  Support - Thanks. I'm still a little bothered by the remaining unsharp grasses in the near right corner, but more cropping would be destructive and the overall picture is peaceful and pleasant. I also really like how the railing and then the far shore of the lake bisect the picture, with the hills in the background. Whether someone considers this composition good enough for a feature is quite subjective, so I'll be interested to see what other people think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:39, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Thankfully you saved most of the beautiful curve of the fence. cart-Talk 10:26, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Color noise, lack of DoF and wrong cut (IMHO hould have been at the fence base, i.e., first version uploaded) --The Photographer 17:56, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
  • I like that composition the best too, but most here seem to think the raspberry bushes had to be cut away. --Vivo (talk) 18:10, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose sorry, nice mood, but the quality isn't ok: color noise and sharpnes (false focus point?). --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:03, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Question - What is a false focus point? I could also use a pointer on what color noise is and how to look for it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

• Only a small part of the foreground is sharp: DoF is insufficient. "color noise" take a look at 100% and you see it all over. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:13, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

• I'm well able to see sharpness and unsharpness, but I don't know specifically what a false focus _point_ is. I have of course looked at this photo at full size. I guess I do see the color noise, now that I'm looking for it, even though it's not nearly as obvious as in my Google search results for "color noise". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:39, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

• Please take a look to the article: en:Image noise. My english is max. only 2. I'm not a english speaker, so please forgive me the accuracy. "false focus _point": if I see an image only with a few foreground sharpness, so it is for me a false focus point, but I mean more the DoF ... --Alchemist-hp (talk) 23:47, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

• Danke, und es ist kein Problem dass dein Englisch ist nicht wirklich toll. Entschuldigung dass meine Deutsch ist nicht so gut. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:52, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Weak support per Ikan. For me, the flaws notwithstanding, the mood works well enough. Daniel Case (talk) 03:05, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment Colour noise reduced. Better? --Vivo (talk) 14:30, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - You should ping everyone who already voted or commented. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:19, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - By the way, I made sure to clear my cache, and I don't see any difference between the two versions. Perhaps others will. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:22, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Neutral Very nice mood, but background unsharp. -- -donald- (talk) 07:14, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose No wow. The foreground is mostly taken up by the start of a hill which isn't attractive to me. The fence leads my eyes nowhere. Power lines, a van, and a couple nondescript buildings across the water. The mood is nice, but doesn't save the whole thing. INeverCry (talk) 17:49, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
  • The hill is the ancient monument that prompted the picture. :) --Vivo (talk) 09:23, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
