Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Cormorant Fishing
- Reason
- It's a very important part of chinese history, and still is important to the fishery industry in china today. Although, I am not very sure about the quality. Decided to take it for a ride in FPC, peer review was too quiet.

- Oppose for the following reasons: main subjects too small, unappealing composition, messy background. Sorry to be harsh, but this is not FP material IMO. --Janke | Talk 09:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- No need to be sorry, you're only judging the picture afterall. Dengero (talk) 10:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - messy background, noisy, dull (I don't mean the situation, the contrast isn't good enough). Not really FP worthy. Better luck next time, and give PPR a go, even if it is a bit slow. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Added a more encyclopaedic crop, which btw meets the size requirements. Now, <devious>since the beach is not the subject of the picture, you *could* isolate bg and fg and pull the beach up over his head with an appropriate perspective correction.</devious> Then there's the option of background blurring, which isn't trivial to do. Either way, you'd have the
monopopurists speaking out against you, and there's always the chance that some local person can upload a picture taken on a luckier day. Samsara (talk • contribs) 13:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)- This is taken in Guilin, actually famous for its foggy scenes if you look some of the pictures. And a clear in China these days.....is quite rare tbh lol. Dengero (talk) 23:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. Distracting background. Clegs (talk) 00:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. Juliancolton (Talk) 15:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
