Oppose -- Low sharpness + chromatic aberration in corners. A very plain snapshot with little intrinsic EV. --Janke | Talk 07:51, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The second part of your oppose is a bit harsh. The composition is better than a snapshot, and the central pathway in a cemetery is usually pretty important, unless you want to wander around looking for a certain grave or section. lNeverCry 08:47, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Regretfully, I think the difficulty with this image is that it could be from anywhere. Since none of the graves are highlighted (and the writing on those in the image is not sharp enough to read), it limits the EV of the photograph.--Godot13 (talk) 09:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – I agree with the above, the image doesn't stand out, it looks like a generic cemetery, or as the criteria puts it, doesn't "illustrates the subject in a compelling way". Bammesk (talk) 14:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Janke, Godot13, Bammesk, Jobas, PetarM, and Marvellous Spider-Man: Answer to above votes: this picture provides a good general view of the cemetery, it shows quite well how the cemetery looks like. It is not realistic to expect to be able read the graves in a single picture in this place, and it is not the point of the picture anyway. I have never seen cemeteries like this one, with so few graves and so much trees and grass, and it is designed like this on purpose by the city who manages the place. In addition, taken in November, when most people visit cemeteries, it is an accurate illustration for the place. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
