  • Not even, look at the histogram. It is nearly a perfect exposure. Diti the penguin — 15:28, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Your Coolpix is overworked with the dynamic range here. Composition and idea are good, but it's hard to pull this off well with a point'n'shooter. -- JovanCormac 14:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

    •  Info I don't like composition and light. Multimotyl (talk) 11:17, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but I do not see anything special about it. It is just a piece of Styrofoam. No history, no "depth" if you know what I mean. Ter890 (talk) 17:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• I understand what you mean, but I am not of the same opinion. An image like this can say a lot of things I think. Styrofoam (polistirolo in italian) is an artificial material, it's used for packaging and it has nothing poetic, it isn't warm, it's a modern material without history, there aren't noble things made of it. So why take a picture like that? It's not so explicative of the object, so it's useless, why make a portrait like this? But also a sunrise is useless, also a rainbow is useless. Art is useless. Beauty is in the eyes of who watch. Try to touch it with the fingers of a child. It could be very depth, it could have a so heroic history. I see all these things in the picture I made, and moreover I think it reach quality standars for FP. But if it doesn't, it remains a very beautiful pic for me :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
