•  Comment - I'll probably support, but I find all 4 alternate versions more interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:07, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

• Ok, thanks for the feedback. I hesitated with this close-up at sunset. That was my first photo in the evening before I come back early morning the next day before sunrise to take the 4 other ones, including this shot. If more opinions join your feeling, I may nominate the alternative instead, and maybe come back again to the spot for another full view with a more special sky (without guarantee). But here I like the stump well isolated and the deserted horizon, except the 2 palm trees inside. I will be grateful for more opinions. Kind regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:20, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

• Well, I suppose the "wow" would wear off rather quickly --El Grafo (talk) 09:33, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

• Taking pictures through holes (normally rocks) is an old idea, but why it's so brilliant here is that it looks like a magnifying glass. And the elongated portrait style with good lighting works really well. POTY potential. Charles (talk) 10:09, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

• Yes, definitely. --El Grafo (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Fixed Top sharpened a bit. Due to the very wide angle, I was much closer to the base of the tree than to the top. But I think this part looks better now. Thanks, Jebulon -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:14, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
