•  Info I witnessed two individuals from a distance, initially assuming they were together, but they weren't. He approached with his dog, observing something empty, while she walked towards him, seeking conversation. The scene captivated me, as the vast lake symbolized their inner void, filled by this chance encounter. The passing ducks served as an analogy for their intertwined future. .All by -- Wilfredor (talk) 21:02, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
• I think there are privacy issues here. At the very least, a {{Personality rights}} template is needed. Yann (talk) 21:47, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support. I don’t think there are major privacy issues here. The woman is barely recognizable, let alone the man. RodRabelo7 (talk) 00:18, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support. For the fascinating story with the photo.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Yes, this is art --Kritzolina (talk) 07:18, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

I added a note to the img proposing a crop. The image will be centered and the left-upper part will be lost which, being darker, certainly is distractive... but, It's up to you! Terragio67 (talk) 08:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

 Done Thanks --Wilfredor (talk) 17:17, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Excellent. – If people dislike the (very slight) vignetting at the left, I would suggest to use a graduated filter in the raw converter, this will fix the issue very easily w/o cropping etc. --Aristeas (talk) 09:20, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Perhaps it's a cultural thing, but two people striking up a conversation in a park doesn't seem that remarkable. To attribute things like "inner void" to these two random people seems a bit extreme too. The ducks are a nice touch but not enough to make this one of Commons' finest images IMO, sorry.

•  Support per Kritzolina and Aristeas --LexKurochkin (talk) 16:19, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Really good: Ducks deserve the IMG center because they ideally represent "the chance..." --Terragio67 (talk) 19:55, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose The composition is intrusive and does not appeal and the dark left hand side should be sorted. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Original, yes, but per Charles Poco a poco (talk) 20:22, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Support There's a lot of symbolism to this image. --SHB2000 (talk) 05:56, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Good photo but no FP in my eyes.--Ermell (talk) 22:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Ermell. -- -donald- (talk) 06:52, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Is the water meant to make the picture more intriguing because it doesn't draw my attention to it? Two random people and a dog next to a large body of water cannot be a featured picture, at least in this instance. 20 upper 14:29, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes and you forget the "random" ducks too in the middle. If you think that this composition was random, you are very wrong. --Wilfredor (talk) 09:16, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose I can see why you took it, but to me this works better as an art-type photograph than a Commons FP. For one thing, given how far apart they are, I see it as debatable that they are meeting by chance ... she could just be looking that way for some other reason. Daniel Case (talk) 18:41, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

  Could you explain a bit more why we should not have "art-type" photographs as Commons FPs, if the quality meets our standards? Kritzolina (talk) 12:31, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
