Oppose The problem with silhouettes in my opinion is that you lose all sense of depth and detail. A normal colour picture would show the size better and the configuration, rather then being overlapped one silhouette on top of the other. Looking at that picture will not give me any idea as where each mast is located, and will not give me 100% of which sail is hung from which mast either. Lovely picture though, just no EV.

Oppose. Subject is one big shadow => no enc. Needs to be taken in full daylight. MER-C 03:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The above is true, but this image would be ideal for the article on silhouette. If it was added there, and edited a bit to fix the graininess in the sky, we could reasonably consider it for FP. Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 200 FCs served} 16:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Horribly overdone contrast and saturation. Unless of course the sea was actually a large bath of tomato ketchup. The noise is entirely down to overlarding the PP. I'd suggest a speedy close, frankly. --mikaul^talk 21:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose how awesome would it be if the sea was actually a large bath of tomato sauce? Noodle snacks (talk) 23:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
