Info The sea on a cloudy night, or in this case the afternoon, gets really dark so you get an "automatic" black background to anything shot on it. The problem is that everything is floating (these are floating jetties), bobbing up and down, so a lot can happen during the 4-8 sek shots. Shoot in calm weather and you get boring light reflections, too much wind and everything is moving and ends up blurry. I stalked the harbor for the right time. At least I didn't have to worry about traily stars. :) All by me -- cart-Talk 10:54, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Oppose -- Although I can understand why some people like this photo, it doesn't really pop out to me. There are no interesting details in the darkness and this type of marina is common around the world, making for a mundane scene. dllu (t,c) 04:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Per dllu. lNeverCry 07:13, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Oppose per dllu, but I wouldn't oversell mundaneness of a scene as a reason for opposition. A mundane scene that's photographed superbly could merit a feature. This is quite well-photographed, but there's nothing about the composition that really captivates me, regardless of how mundane or unusual the scene is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:13, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Per Ikan. I'm sure, cart, you will find a truly striking subject for this—it is a different take on night than what we usually get to see, as you noted. Daniel Case (talk) 05:16, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thank you for your good feedback and patience, all of it appreciated. --cart-Talk 10:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
