Info created & uploaded by User:Podzemnik - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Support - I think this very strong composition merits a feature because of the curves on land and the streaming clouds in the sky, though it also has nice details and a pleasant atmosphere. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment - There is not really a subject ... sand? --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 07:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Oppose A nice curve in the beach and a nice sky, but on the whole I think the bar is set quite high for FPs of nature shots like this one, so it would need to be even more extraordinary for me to go "wow". It looks nice, but also fairly ordinary.--Peulle (talk) 07:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- I understand, but my contention is that the composition is far from ordinary. I'm not trying to convince you by saying that, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:56, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Very weak oppose It has the makings of an FP, but I'd crop in on the right and the bottom, and shoot it on a day when there are fewer clouds and more sun. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - I notice User:Podzemnik has yet to vote or comment. I'm tempted to withdraw now, but do you have something to say? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I think your nomination stands on its own legs. While nice, it's not really necessary for the author to agree with the nom; if you think it's good enough, there's no shame in bringing it here, even if the author doesn't agree. :)--Peulle (talk) 20:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- My feeling is that if a photographer doesn't him-/herself think a photo merits support, I should withdraw it. After all, as the photographer, he would have the right to withdraw the nomination himself. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:21, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure the photographer has the right (I mean per the guidelines) to withdraw your nomination :-) Certainly voting against and requesting insistently to drop it, but setting the template ? Now the picture is irrevocably shared, its destiny may be quite unpredictable, so it can be used in any article, blog, but also become the next POTY if a consensus decides the promotion :-) So much power in your hands, now :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:05, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
- He does. See 6. under "General Rules" above: Nominators and authors can withdraw their nominated pictures at any time. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
- All right yes. I had read this point but thought both could only withdraw their own nominations. It makes more sense now, thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:33, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

- Weak oppose It's a good QI, but I also agree with Peulle and Daniel. Too ordinary and not sunny enough. The trunk lying on the sand is not captivating so much, and there's nothing here that I find really exceptional -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:26, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination No point in dragging this out. This'll be neither the first nor the last time I disagree with you guys, and thanks for taking the time to look at the photo seriously and express your opinions. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:12, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
