•  Oppose I am missing a clear compositional idea. Besides the image looks CW tilted (trees at the left are leaning to the right, the trees at the right don't) or had the trees suffered by a strong storm? --Tuxyso (talk) 10:28, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

  Tuxyso. Yes in my region there is omnipresent strong northern wind (Tramontane) or northwesterly wind (Mistral) and so many trees are leaning, see this image or this one. The compositional idea is a close up on this grove of tree in the last hour of the sun light, the result is enough dramatic for my enthusiasm. -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 10:59, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Info It's the same place that for this image/nomination. -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 10:59, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Support --JLPC (talk) 15:55, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose I am sorry, Christian, but I am missing wow factor here, I only see a bunch of high pines. Correct image, but not FP to me. --Kadellar (talk) 18:50, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment The crop is too tight and kills most of the wow effect. This version is better. I would nominate it again, maybe with slight brightening and partial cropping of the bottom part (not up to the tree line, much less). Gidip (talk) 18:12, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I agree with Gidip. Espcially the bright midground (the front part on the ground close to the trees) is very good. But Christian, don't listen to too many people, they all have different opinions :) --Tuxyso (talk) 18:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree with Gidip that something between the two images crop would be best - retaining the sandy path but losing the messy scrub/stones that are in shadow in the first. I'm struggling to find the subject/lighting dramatic enough for FP. We've got some storm damaged trees on a lovely day, which is nice but that's all. Perhaps on a stormy day with dark clouds and rain lashing and in grainy black and white? Sorry, but I don't think this grove has enough wow. -- Colin (talk) 18:29, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Info New version with more space at bottom, now it's the original size, me too I think the first was more dramatic. Thanks for the feedbacks. -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 21:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)-- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 06:54, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Support A good catch of the species, the tilt of the trees is a curious and original point (for me) -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 11:57, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I love this kind of shots. --Famberhorst (talk) 15:51, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Support --Alex Florstein (talk) 18:28, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

•  Support --Michael Gäbler (talk) 20:25, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Info Gidip, Kadellar, Colin, Tuxyso, dear colleagues, just for information, I uploaded a version with more space at bottom (original size), and natural colors and WB (as they are on the RAW file). -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 07:59, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
