•  Support IMO the tree shouldn't be in the center, one to two thirds may be better. --XRay ^talk 17:43, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

• It's an isolated tree lost in a large space and positioned that way in the center of a "desert", it makes it unusual, like being an intruder. The choice of this composition was also decided in relation with the sky, the black mountains behind, and the light. As there was a very strong current on the river that day (flooding during the monsoon), I had really little time to make sophisticated adjustments while my pirogue was drifting. But the fact that the landscape behind is quite desert (only water) doesn't justify a decentering of the subject in my opinion. Finally I also kept this composition because of the shape of the clouds over. But I made a shot from another angle a few minutes later. Thanks for your review -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:17, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Weak  Oppose Per XRay and due to the poor quality of the image apart from the tree. It looks like strong denoising --Poco² 18:18, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

• Fixed Poco, I've uploaded a new version with less denoising and more sharpness. I agree the filter was too strong -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:17, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

•  Neutral An improvement, I move now to neutral, thanks, --Poco² 07:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Nice. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 10:43, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
•  Support, although the tree can't really be described as "submerged" since you can see it. "Flooded" is more accurate. Daniel Case (talk) 16:27, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Fixed in the description. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Very interesting choice of composition. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:31, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
• I prefer File:Flooded Albizia Saman (rain tree) in the Mekong.jpg, which is more of a portrait of the tree, in somewhat more tranquil times. I've gone back and forth with this photo, but ultimately, I  Support it, because it tells a story of a tree surviving in the middle of a turbulent river in stormy weather. It's a compelling story and a compelling photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
