•  Support Midnight Special. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 16:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
•  Question - Nice enough, but what makes it great and featurable? I'd like to consider this before making a decision. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:10, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

• At least to me this is a play of pairs: light and shadow, natural (birch) and manmade (lamp), red and green, vertical and horizontal lines. That's my artsy fartsy thought about this. ;) I also like the way the lamp lights up the very new leaves of the birch in a gradual way. The compo is more artistic/photographic than encyclopedic. We have had night/trees/street lamp compos and FPCs here before, but they fell short in the technical quality. This is not a very easy photo to take with the light going from total darkness to bright light. (Btw, it is a one-shot photo, no HDR.) It also needs to be perfectly still and no wind when you do these long exposure shots, or the leaves will get blurry. --Cart (talk) 18:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Overall dark and not interesting subject -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
•  Support although I think something with the leaves and the light would work even better, as you don't have that distracting orange. Or even the light alone. Daniel Case (talk) 03:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too bad you always have to read the explanation to understand the meaning. You should be able to do without it. I can't see anything unusual about the photo.--Ermell (talk) 06:44, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Maybe not the right forum for this kind of photo. Thanks for your time though. --Cart (talk) 08:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
