Info All by me. -- PumpkinSky talk 13:24, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Support -- PumpkinSky talk 13:24, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Oppose I'm sorry, but I find the composition somewhat lacking. It's a quality image but too much of the subject is obscured by vegetation to reach FP status for me.--Peulle (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment Peulle, Well, I can't cut down the trees; this is a public park. The reason I love the composition is the tunneling\vanishing point effect the trees, creek, and light give this. PumpkinSky talk 17:33, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Support I like the composition with that tiny stream and the colours of the bridge and the plants. --Basotxerri (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Support I too like this little bridge sitting so cozy among the bamboo, its red color an almost exact complementary color to the foliage. I think it might be a tad oversaturated though (could need say minus 8 to 10 desaturation in LR) since the colors almost "shine into each other". Maybe a matter of taste. --cart-Talk 19:19, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment User:W.carter, -10 didn't seem to quite do it so I moved it -13, you were close! I agree, this looks better. PumpkinSky talk 19:56, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Oppose confusing motive and too unsharp on the left.--Ermell (talk) 20:23, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment User:W.carter, Ermell, Basotxerri, I tried to sharpen the left side. Feedback welcome. PumpkinSky talk 20:54, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Oppose per Peulle also looks very over-processed -- plastic appearance (too much NR?) and a rather hyper-real contrast/tone. Suggest taming the urge to whack every LR slider :-) -- Colin (talk) 11:35, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment @Colin: I don't come near whacking every LR slider, but do think I tend to slide the ones I use too far and I consciously try to avoid that. I do value your feedback. PumpkinSky talk 12:19, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Support I like the warmer colors, especially on the rocks, in this version. It's a natural setting with lots of earth tones that doesn't need to be too cold. Although maybe dialing back on the red and orange saturation wouldn't hurt. Daniel Case (talk) 18:25, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment I cut the red saturation a little. PumpkinSky talk 21:48, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
- Be careful -- most people do not revisit nominations they have voted on. FPC isn't really intended to be a place to collaborate on processing a raw file. -- Colin (talk) 07:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Oppose I prefer the other version. --El Grafo (talk) 07:48, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Alternative version
[edit]Info People seem to love or strongly dislike the tunneling effect. If an objection is to the bamboo in front of the bridge, there's nothing I can do about that. Using W.carter's and Colin's feedback, I'm offering this alternative version, which is different processing of the same RAW file: I used pretty much the same sliders but didn't move them as far (wink to Colin). Pings for those who already voted: @Colin: @W.carter: @Peulle: @Basotxerri: @Ermell: @Yann: @Johann Jaritz: PumpkinSky talk 12:19, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Support This version. Color balance better and composition tighter. This tighter crop works much better, composition now contrasts the colors of streambed, bridge and foliage without being overwhelmed by the bamboo, which now is a graceful framing element. Montanabw (talk) 15:48, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Support Comparing both, this one looks more natural. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Support If you twist my arm, I would go for this one. I try not to do too much pixel peeping, but like Basotxerri says, this looks more natural. --cart-Talk 19:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Support --El Grafo (talk) 07:48, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Oppose I'm afraid I'm still not finding this remarkable enough for FP. It does look more natural. It would be great to have someone on the bridge, though they'd need to be photogenic in some way, rather than some random tourist pointing their camera back at you :-). -- Colin (talk) 07:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Support I find it remarkable, especially its person-less tranquility and daring colour contrast. Not for the colour-blind, of course ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Support And 7... --LivioAndronico (talk) 20:32, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
Support I much prefer the balance on this version to the other. It's a delightful scene and I do like the tunnelling effect. Chacune à son goût, I guess. --RexxS (talk) 13:22, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
