Hi, It was a stormy day, the light was interesting. There were beautiful clouds. I understand the views of Muhammad. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 13:33, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the composition doesn't works for me: too much uninteresting water in the foreground (a hole for my eyes, my view drowns ...). I'm missing a foreground unit, a boot, a path ... --Alchemist-hp (talk) 06:22, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I agree with Alchemist-hp. While the lighting and clouds are interesting I don't think this illustrates the port very well as looks more like a deserted section of the river. The image in Port Saint-Sauveur is better in the regard as at least we can see some boats and evidence of commerce. The planking just under the surface in the bottom left corner is a bit distracting too (what is that? a sinking raft? do you have an uncropped version showing a ragged shipwrecked sailor with a long beard waving feebly? Because I'd definitely support that). Belle (talk) 10:24, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Alchemist-hp. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
