Info Zwenkauer See is a lake near the city of Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. It was calm but somewhat hazy, resulting in a slight softness of the background. All by me. --Code (talk) 07:04, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination Was not my best idea to nominate this. Sorry for that. --Code (talk) 11:38, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
Comment Might I ask why you think that? I quite like the image, it's very simple in composition but I think it works well artistically. Cmao20 (talk) 12:39, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- Cmao20, you may not have been around FPC lately so you probably don't know how hostile the FPC is towards artistic photos these days. Especially some less diplomatic users are rather vocal about this. It's the reason why I've made the same decision as Code and not nominate my own photos here any more. I admire Code's guts to take a chance here again, and I followed this to see what the reaction to his nominations might be. --Cart (talk) 13:07, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- That is a shame. You are right that I am only new around here, but I liked the picture anyway, and I was planning to vote for it because I enjoyed the composition. No matter anyway. Cmao20 (talk) 13:14, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, but there are too many users who confuse the goal of Commons and its FP with that of the Wikipedias and their FPs. This occurs even if the goal of Commons states very clearly that it is a repository of images for all kinds of projects (including eleven other wiki-projects), not just the Wikipedia. I do wish people would take off the Wikipedia-blinders and see the bigger picture. --Cart (talk) 13:46, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- Cart, I think it's a pity that you've decided not to nominate your pictures for FP anymore. I know it's hard sometimes to find the motivation and inner strength to nominate your work here. But I think your nominations were bringing fresh winds into the FPC. That other people are rather vocal about their ideas of what FP should be about? Well, I'm sure a lot of other people enjoyed your nominations here. Regards, --Podzemnik (talk) 11:22, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Podzemnik, we'll see. Take a look at my talk page. --Cart (talk) 11:32, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- I always enjoyed your nominations and sometimes voted for them. :-) Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:50, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
