  • Thank you for your assessment, Cmao20, but I think the motivation for the vote is not based on the picture itselft. I just realised that when I went through all current FP candidates yesterday morning I opposed the 2 noms of Olfa Yakoubi because none of them convinced me in terms of level of detail. The first edit he/she did afterwards was coming here to oppose this candidate (and second oppose in his FP record, what are the odds?). Definitely unfair but nothing unusual.

    Se que no podemos prevenir esto, pero al menos conmigo, votame todo lo negativo que puedas, nunca hare eso. Aunque a veces pudiera estar equivocado intento ser lo mas objetivo posible Wilfredor (talk) 14:56, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I’m really disappointed and honestly hurt by your comment, Diego. Reading that my vote could be interpreted as revenge or retaliation was painful for me, because that is not how I participate in FP discussions at all.
    I can’t imagine that you would think my oppose is related to the fact that you opposed some pictures I nominated — especially since this not even mine photo. I always try to give my opinion based on the image itself and according to my understanding of FP criteria, even when my opinion may differ from others.
    I still don’t like the composition of this photo. In my opinion, the framing is not ideal, the foreground elements are distracting, and the brightness and distortion affect the overall visual balance. That is why I opposed it, and I still stand by my opinion sincerely and in good faith.
    What hurt me the most is the implication that my opinion was dishonest or motivated by personal feelings. I respect your work and your contributions a lot. In fact, I have supported some of your photos before, and there are also photos of yours that I personally don’t like but chose not to oppose because I respect different artistic views and standards.
    By the way, we already met before — I don’t know if you remember — and I genuinely appreciate your photography overall. That is also why this statement was painful for me to read. Even when we disagree on a nomination, I believe we should assume good faith and respect each other’s opinions.
    And honestly, after reading your comment, I no longer feel comfortable voting on your photos in the future if my opinions are going to be interpreted this way instead of being seen as sincere photographic criticism.
    For this specific picture, I simply do not think it reaches FP level, and my vote was made honestly, sincerely, and without any personal intention. Olfa Yakoubi -ألفة يعقوبي (talk) 17:46, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that what Diego commented is not what he meant, remember that his level of English is not very good and he could use very direct or incorrect words, there is also the cultural difference. Wilfredor (talk) 19:38, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please Wilfredor, don't talk for me about what I meant or not. I don't think either, that you are the most appropiate person to judge my level of English. I meant what I wrote, because although I don't know Olfa Yokoubi, I've often seen this behavior very often in the almost last 20 years. That's why I wonder about the odds that the first edit after my 2 opposes is right away a decline here. Olfa, you will have to recognize that if my opposes didn't play a role in your oppose it looks at least suspicious. Still I'm happy to read that you confirm otherwise.

You're right, Poco poco; it wasn't my place to interpret what you meant or judge your English. I'm sorry, it was a mistake on my part. I'll leave Wilfredor (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, Cmao20, let's move on Poco a poco (talk) 20:09, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
