•  Support Nice composition. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Composition -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 10:04, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support -- Great framing and composition, showing different scales. Quality good enough. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Neutral Very nice, but loss of detail (overexposition) on the octopus, which is a significant subject in the composition. --Eusebius (talk) 11:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support per Alves. Despite some minor flaws a really good work Mila! Greetings mathias K 14:07, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Great image, per supporters above. --Cayambe (talk) 17:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose - sorry, but I don't really see the point of this - difficult shape for viewing (height 2× width); and what is the main subject, the dead octopus, or the lighthouse? I'd be inclined either to crop out the octopus to make a scenic coast shot, or else crop off the top to make an ecology photo of the dead octopus. Trying to fit both in doesn't work well. - MPF (talk) 08:48, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree with MPF, sorry. --Lošmi (talk) 17:55, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

It is of course matter of taste, but IMO remove an octopus and get a boring lighthouse, remove lighthouse, and get a boring octopus. Besides there is not only octopus there, but also w:sea anemones, and hermit crabs. I agree format is different, but it is practically not noticeable in the full resolution.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

"It is of course matter of taste" . . . hope I don't have to taste the dead octopus ;-)) [Sorry, couldn't resist!!] MPF (talk) 17:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

If you really, and I mean really, would not like to taste the dead octopus, you'd better support the image . BTW was there something wrong with my English? Should I have used a different word?--Mbz1 (talk) 17:54, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, the English is fine, it's just my warped sense of humour ;-) MPF (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

•  Support.I like that "difficult shape for viewing". -- deerstop. 10:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose per MPF; no wow over a deceased octopus. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 18:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Nope, it is not per MPF. It is an usual revenge of a "spoiled child" - kuiper. I knew about this oppose was coming after I removed kuiper's message from my talk page. kuiper, it is about time you'd grow up.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

•  Support per all those above me. Kooritza (talk) 19:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support — MZaplotnik ^{(my contribs)} 19:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I like it either way. Don't think it would be boring if the octopus was cropped out though. Think it would still have a lovely composition, a nice long shot. The design in the water lends interest itself. Stellarkid (talk) 22:10, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support glad you got it fixed --ianaré (talk) 10:04, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose - sorry, but the long narrow composition with a subject of interest at each end does not work for me. Jonathunder (talk) 15:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, the "subjects of interest" are not only the lighthouse, the octopus, sea anemones, and hermit crabs, but also the reefs, the very same reefs that were the reason of quite a few shipwrecks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

•  Support --Michael Gäbler (talk) 13:27, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose As MPF. --Karel (talk) 21:25, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I disagree with MPF. In my opinion, it works well. Schuylar (talk) 15:14, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
