  • Oppose Sorry, not this one either. Please do compare your images with current landscape FPs. This is underexposed and the foreground reeds are distracting. A rainy-day image has to be a bit more dramatic than this; that's why photographers usually wait for the sun to come out! Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:25, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I appreciate the input. I understood your concerns about the other image, but I respectfully disagree with you about this one. I don't think it's underexposed, but I will be curious to hear what others have to say. On a side note, it was not a rainy day or intended as an illustration of a rainy day. The lake just happens to be called "Rainy Lake." Steevven1 (Talk) (Contribs) (Gallery) 17:07, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose - This may be worth nominating for VI on Commons for Rainy Lake, but I don't think it works as a Featured landscape. It's a nice image, but it needs to excel in some way beyond just being a pretty good shot of the subject (lighting, sharpness/DoF, color, etc.). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:24, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
