Metung Wharf


An attractive small panorama of Metung Wharf, at Metung on the Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, Australia. Visually pleasing image, good quality, adds significantly to its articles.


 * Support. I've tied my yacht up to that exact jetty many times and i think it is a good photo of possibly the nicest place in Victoria, AUS to holiday.

 * Oppose Blurry. It doesn't illustrate the subject clearly. It just looks like an ordinary marina.Nnfolz 07:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose I agree with the reasons stated by Nnfolz. SteveHopson 17:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Actually, Diliff brought up a good point, so I changed my mind. Nauticashades 18:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak support. I don't see the blurriness mentioned by others. Good color & composition.  However I agree about the lack of "wow" factor - there doesn't seem to be anything to distinguish this particular wharf image from most others. -- Moondigger 19:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Good technical quality, but the subject is unclear. HighInBC 01:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support Find the comments of the subject being unclear a little strange. How much clearer can the subject be without adding a huge sign in?! Like the composition with the boat on the LHS framing the wharf on the RHS. However little concerned about the houses near the RHS - do they really curve like that? Like the Mackerel Sky - how appropriate :-)! --Fir0002 11:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * FWIW the curve is real, not a stitching error, and quite appealing IMO (though I actually asked myself the same thing when I did the pano and rechecked the originals). You can see it if you look carefully in the 'normal' shots Image:Metung-Wharf, Vic.jpg and in the distance in Image:Marina-Bancroft-Bay,-Metung-Vic.jpg . --jjron 12:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Support Reminds me of vacations. AndonicO 18:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. I know its a late vote, but I've had another look at it and I can't see any reason to oppose. Highly informative, pleasing to the eye and technically sound. It may not have the 'wow' factor but that is not the sole factor in FPs in my mind. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 08:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - Per above. the quality is good but lacks the WOW factor. Arad 11:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
