  •   Comment SHB2000: Honestly, I am not a fan of votes based on liking and taste. You have the right to like or dislike an image, but support/opposition in FPC requires reasons beyond taste. IMHO if the effect or technique does not have a suitable result, it should be criticized from the technical aspect, not personal preferences. -- IamMM (talk) 10:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know if you're specifically nitpicking my oppose vote solely because I said "for my liking", but it would have made no difference if I had said "A bit too posterised". I stand by my vote. SHB2000 (talk) 10:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    IMO, this is still just your personal taste without having provided a posterization standard for this style of photography. There has already been a related discussion here. -- IamMM (talk) 11:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, I'll bite: what if I had replaced "posterisation" with "overprocessed"? What difference would that have made? SHB2000 (talk) 11:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It depends on how convincing the voter's explanation is. If it was only based on taste, I would still say the above points. I believe that the artistic goal of the photographer and her/his intention in using these settings should be considered. -- IamMM (talk) 12:46, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Let's take this back for a moment. If my oppose vote simply said "Too posterised"/"Too posterized" or "Too overprocessed", would you drop your battleground behaviour? Those are perfectly valid reasons for opposing a photo – you're just being acrimoniously nitpicky because I said "for my liking". Anyway, Ikan Kekek has already responded below to what I was going to say. SHB2000 (talk) 09:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I will ask the admins to take care of your offensive and disruptive behavior. These immature behaviors have no place in FPC. -- IamMM (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment No vote so far from me, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with SHB2000's oppose reasons. Posterization is a legitimate reason to oppose a nomination, and not liking it may be an insufficient reason, but it certainly suggests a lack of wow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ikan Kekek: I completely disagree with you. Votes, especially opposite votes, must be justified by common sense. This is a serious project with clear criteria, and voting based on "liking" is not one of them. If a particular user doesn't like black and white images, it doesn't mean that the reason for the opposition is justified. How did you come to the conclusion that the oppose vote here have anything to do with the lack of wow? -- IamMM (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Had he just said "It's not to my liking," I would agree that wouldn't really be sufficient to explain much, but the fact is "No wow" is acceptable, as is "Not an FP to me because x, y and z about the photo are not to my taste," though if someone simply made blanket oppose votes against all black & white photos (or all portraits, landscape photos, etc.), that would be a problem. But in any case, he says "A bit too posterised for my liking." That's completely legitimate and a normal reason to oppose considering a picture one of the greatest on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I was not convinced. You can have your opinion, but I still firmly believe that disliking posterization is not a valid reason in this case, just as it cannot be considered legitimate to disagree with a black and white art photo because of the lack of color. -- IamMM (talk) 06:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, if you want people to vote for a nomination, don't pick a fight about whether it's legitimate to oppose posterization. Most voters at FPC oppose posterization, and your pushing back about it left a bad taste in my mouth. Should I decide to vote for this photo, it won't be because I agree with your views about what constitutes legitimate opposition to declaring a photo one of the best on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:02, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will disagree with anything I think is wrong whenever necessary and you are not in a position to give advice to others in this regard, also the taste in your mouth is your problem, not mine. I will not answer you until you learn to express your opinion politely. -- IamMM (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"[Y]ou are not in a position to give advice to others in this regard, also the taste in your mouth is your problem, not mine." – well, someone's being hypocritical here... --SHB2000 (talk) 09:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment IamMM, you think I'm being impolite to say that this has left a bad taste in my mouth? Are you unfamiliar with the idiom? Otherwise, you are being absurd. There's nothing sarcastic or rude about my remark. Do you plan to complain about me at ANU, too? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • My complaint was from another user's sarcasm, but the last sentence shows that you deserved it just as much. Relax, I don't feel like playing this game anymore. Goodbye   I withdraw my nomination -- IamMM (talk) 16:31, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
