Coromant Fishing[edit]

Reason: It's a very important part of chinese history, and still is important to the fishery industry in china today. Although, I am not very sure about the quality. Decided to take it for a ride in FPC, peer review was too quiet.

Oppose for the following reasons: main subjects too small, unappealing composition, messy background. Sorry to be harsh, but this is not FP material IMO. --Janke | Talk 09:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No need to be sorry, you're only judging the picture afterall. Dengero (talk) 10:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - messy background, noisy, dull (I don't mean the situation, the contrast isn't good enough). Not really FP worthy. Better luck next time, and give PPR a go, even if it is a bit slow. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 12:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Added a more encyclopaedic crop, which btw meets the size requirements. Now, <devious>since the beach is not the subject of the picture, you *could* isolate bg and fg and pull the beach up over his head with an appropriate perspective correction.</devious> Then there's the option of background blurring, which isn't trivial to do. Either way, you'd have the ~~monopo~~ purists speaking out against you, and there's always the chance that some local person can upload a picture taken on a luckier day.

- This is taken in Guilin, actually famous for its foggy scenes if you look some of the pictures. And a clear in China these days.....is quite rare tbh lol. Dengero (talk) 23:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Distracting background. Clegs (talk) 00:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Juliancolton (Talk) 15:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
