Yellow fence and boardwalk
  •  Comment - Yeah, any FP gets a shot at POTD. As for POTY, all FPs are candidates in the opening round, but maybe we should have a discussion on the talk page again, because I certainly wouldn't vote for every FP for POTY. I think it's entirely reasonable to have different standards for FP than for POTY. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:43, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I don't think B/W is such a good idea here since the musty yellow color is why the fence stands out. It's also a very good complementary color to the blue sea. Granted, it's not a grand castle or monument, I tend to see lines and beauty in ordinary everyday things. I leave it up to others to decide whether such things have a place among FP. Thanks for showing an interest though. :) w.carter-Talk 08:36, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - For whatever it's worth, I agree that the yellow, blue and other colors are integral to this picture and black & white probably wouldn't be as good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:13, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Ok, I see what you mean. I thought the picture was more about lines than colours. That's why I supposed to try a B/W version. I still don't think I can support it. It's not clear enough in my eyes. There's too much going on: The yellow fence is quite dominant and makes the whole picture look very narrow. Then there are the green plants above, the people, the masts of the yachts, the sea, the sky, the water. I'm missing a focus in a compositional sense. --Code (talk) 10:30, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, the walk is narrow and it is a wacky picure. :) w.carter-Talk 10:43, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
