Zanzibari Ocean View


I think the picture is both artistic and encyclopedically valuable. It appears in Zanzibar and was created by User:Chris huh

 * Oppose I'd not say it is very encyclopedic. Indian Ocean? No, just some (any) water here. Zanzibar? No, I see nothing specific to that country. Dhow? No, picture is shot from the wrong viewpoint. Artistic? Yes. Score: 3 to 1, so No Go. --Janke | Talk 07:24, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * '''Oppose per User:Janke. --S0uj1r0 10:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Janke. Also, edit 1 is way too blue. --DonES 21:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose edit 1 far too saturated. The shadow around the boat has turned bright blue! Oppose original. Could be a photo of anywhere. chowells 14:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Anywhere? It would take me at least 24 hours of driving to get somewhere that looks anything even close to this. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 14:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the sentiment was that while it obviously isn't a seascape typical of anywhere, it is not identifiable as anything specific to Zanzibar - it is a pretty-but-generic tropical beach scene with little encyclopaedic value. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 10:21, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral The original is too dull; the edit is too blue as DonES said. I might support a better edit. | AndonicO 17:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think you could edit this to make up for the bleak colors. Fir way overdid it and the colors are still mediocre in his edit. --DonES 05:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not interesting. Dull colors. HighInBC 19:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
