- Comment I resized the image in Legends of the Coco de Mer, and a question: why is this not in Coco de Mer? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:54, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, well Coco de Mer has some other images, and one of mine is there already. IMO the nominated image is sexier than the ones used in Coco de Mer, and that is why it is better suited for Legends of the Coco de Mer. If you believe this image should be added to Coco de Mer too, I do not mind of course.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:13, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- OK that's a fair enough reason for it only to be in this article, in which it does have fantastic EV. But I'm still not convinced it's a particularly technically, compositionally, and asthetically good image. Put me down as neutral while I think about it. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 10:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: The caption makes a fuss about how big it is but there is nothing to give scale. To me the foam is a distraction; I'm looking at it and asking "What's that white stuff?" rather than looking at the nut. The subject is off-center and at an angle, also a bit of a distraction.--RDBury (talk) 23:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose original The thing that bugs me about this image is that half of the nut is not wet at all, even though it is in the waves. It looks too posed. Neutral on Alt1 - it's better, but I actually miss the presence of the waves, and the composition is quite plain. Good quality. --99of9 (talk) 01:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Support This image makes the article far more interesting and valuable in my view. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
