Support Lone mangrove in Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam, Kerala. A composition of serenity, with the sharp image of the tree juxtaposed against the hazy background, the reflection reaching out towards the viewer slightly distorted by the gentle ripples in the water -- Tagooty (talk) 08:34, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Comment The slightly off-center composition is a bit unsettling to me; it should either be perfectly centered or very clearly off-center (rule of thirds). Also, a little too much sky. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Done @King of Hearts: Thanks for the suggestion. I've centred the tree. As it is leaning slightly, perfect centering is debatable. --Tagooty (talk) 08:53, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

- Support Great image! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:30, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I would support this if this were cropped closer right and left; all the gray vagueness slows eye movement and detracts from the composition, in my opinion. I think if you were to crop out a bit less than halfway toward the middle on both sides, I'd be happy. However, it looks like the image will be featured as is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:03, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: Please see this portrait image. Would you like me to nominate it as an alternative? --Tagooty (talk) 06:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I would. I would vote for that version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:00, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Added a portrait image as an alternative. I invite @King of Hearts, Aristeas, Princess Rosalina, Martin Falbisoner, Frank Schulenburg, Ikan Kekek, Kritzolina, and Navneetsharmaiit: to consider the alternative below. --Tagooty (talk) 14:05, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support I actually love how the tree is so small in this vast (and yes vague) grey world --Kritzolina (talk) 06:59, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Sorry to spoil the party but I much prefer the landscape format. There is no reason to crop it so narrowly, let it breathe. For me the whole point of this pic is the isolated tree within the blank, empty environment. And cropping it closely round the tree spoils that. Cmao20 (talk) 14:20, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cmao. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:26, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
