Wiesmann MF 3
Voting period ends on 2 Apr 2022  at 03:05:49 (UTC)
 * Reason:Interesting car brand. From 1993 to 2013 Wiesmann GmbH specialized in producing hand-built custom cars and produced about 180 cars per year. In 2013 the company stopped producing cars and it has been going through business restructuring since then. This photo shows the company's MF 3 model. There wasn't a big variety of models and the MF 3 is a good representation of all models up until 2003. This is a quality photo. FP on Commons.

 * comment The flair above both wheel arches isn't ideal from a purely documentary POV although its hard to avoid with shiny cars.©Geni (talk) 00:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Nice car, but badly parked. Shiny cars must be like shiny frogs. A nightmare to photograph. As for composition, I'm no car photographer but the tree could be better placed, the windows lowered so we can see into the car and the driver's seat back in position.

 * Rarity should probably count for something here. 180 or so cars a year for about 20 years is rare enough, even presuming all survive, that I'm inclined to forgive a bit. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.7% of all FPs 11:42, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Rarity with cars is complicated. The existence of car events mean that in some cases mean that even if there is only one of a given car they can end up with a lot of photo opportunities if they do a lot of events.©Geni (talk) 14:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * At the same time, though, if w'reecting this one for background and lighting, one has to ask whether any lighting or background would be acceptable? If it's cloudy, people will reject it for that. If it has other cars in the background, then it would be voted down for that. It feels like we're setting up every possible photo for failure.

 * Bright overcast with a non sky background is viable. Or go full off camera strobes. but then I'm pretty ok with the background.©Geni (talk) 17:20, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I quite like the background (contrasting colours) might work better on an overcast day with flat lighting.©Geni (talk) 14:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
