•  Oppose Sorry, but I don't see an overall idea in the composition. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:24, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per KoH. Daniel Case (talk) 00:56, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose per King of Hearts. --Laitche (talk) 07:21, 24 April 2015 (UTC) Withdraw my vote, neutral for now. --Laitche (talk) 19:28, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral I find the composition very good and very interesting. I really don't understand the critics above. However, on the left side of the picture there's a lot of magenta CA at the tree. I would support the nomination if this issue was fixed. --Code (talk) 09:57, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
  • If that very interesting means reflection and symmetry, I've realized before your comment and guess others are same... --Laitche (talk) 10:34, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I couldn't shut my mouth called a critic. --Laitche (talk) 10:45, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

• Fixed CA as per Code´s observation. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:26, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

•  Support now. --Code (talk) 06:51, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

•  Neutral This is indeed very interesting with "reality" and reflection seamlessly blending without leaving any discernible water line. Makes my brain go nuts, which is meant in a positive way. I'd compare it to listening to one of the more obscure Zappa songs: complex music and strange lyrics (for a non-native speaker), so I have to listen to them actively and carefully multiple times for them to make sense, but after some time I usually start to like them. Most of those songs are not really danceable or radio-friendly, though, and I fear that this image may lack the FPC equivalents of these words (whatever they are) as well. --El Grafo (talk) 11:51, 24 April 2015 (UTC) I sincerely hope this comment makes sense to anyone but me. If not, it's obviously a side effect of looking at the image for too long ;-)

• Yes, that's what I meant. --Code (talk) 11:59, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

• I like this review, the analogy. If you look up mangrove photographs, 99% will be photographs from the outside looking at the edges of mangroves. Pictures from inside a mangrove are rare, and difficult because of the visual confusion, branches, reflections, light seeping in... The idea of this photograph is precisely that, to show the confusion, the visual confusion. The ripples of the water, the reflections make it hard even there to distinguish objects, until one just sits long enough and let the mangrove in. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 20:50, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

•  Neutral Good composition, but lacks sharpness and too much darkness. --Tremonist (talk) 12:25, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --LuisArmandoRasteletti (talk) 10:59, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like it very much and it deserve a better exposition which is too bright here IMO. -- Christian Ferrer 17:34, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
