•  Support I often dislike long exposure photographs of moving water because it tends to make it look like flowing sugar, but in this case it works exceptionally well for me. --El Grafo (talk) 09:47, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, looks to unnatural to me, especially the horizon. --Milseburg (talk) 12:05, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
  • @Milseburg: I won't argue about the waves looking unnatural, as that's been done intentionally and everyone is free to like it or not. But regarding the horizon: The strange white line you see in the preview images is most likely due to how Mediawiki downsizes and sharpens images to create thumbnails – it does not exist in the original full size image. --El Grafo (talk) 14:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
•  Strong support MMmmmmmmmmmm ... that really sums it up, Because those blurred waves are the photographic equivalent of all those overdubbed vocals in an Enya song (And there's an obvious one, to which I am listening right now to enhance the emotions this image stirs in me.
