Oppose Sorry, the pier just doesn't seem to be centered. I don't see it as the main theme of the photograph either. This unfortunately diminishes the EV of the photograph. Étienne Dolet (talk) 08:37, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Composition seems a bit random, and also the whole thing looks tilted to my eye. Plus it seems a bit grainy. Overall I am not a massive fan of this one. 31.49.120.201 (talk) 12:42, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - To me, the composition is all right, but the lighting of the elements on the ground is poor. It looks like most of them are in shadow, possibly because the photo was taken either in the early morning or in the late afternoon. The same photo taken with more sun on the pier, beach and houses in the foreground would be a more interesting one. CorinneSD (talk) 18:13, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Étienne Dolet and CorinneSD, although with more leaning to the lighting issues... gazhiley 12:35, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
