A bench at a lookout point - go or no-go?
If you think it's a go, what sells the wayspot - bench or view or both in the picture?
If you think it's a no-go, what rejection reason would you give?
I would have attached a poll, but the site won't let me...

To turn it back to you, what acceptance/eligibility criteria do you think this meets?
Actually exercise, since the bench is placed on the top of a steep hill - from where you have a view of most of the city 🙂
Nominate the bench as the placeholder for the view.
Count me as a "maybe-go." I was able to successfully nominate two "lookout" benches last year, though frankly I was surprised that they both got approved. I think it depends on your photo and your supporting info really selling the location as a scenic viewpoint, and it also depends on enough reviewers being open to your argument.
Here are some screenshots of the two nominations I'm referring to. For the main photo, I tried to capture both the bench and the view as best I could. For the supporting info, even though the bench is located on a trail, I only mentioned the exploration criteria.
@flatmatt-PGO Cool - thanks for sharing 😀
@FruSkatteKat-PGO Sure! Just try not to be too disappointed if it doesn't get through on the first try (or the second, etc.).
How sparse is the area?
That usually impacts how I review something like this. Don't mention Need M0ar PokEst0pz though :D
I never do that - most of my accepted nomination have end up in Ingress only anyway 😁
Quite sparse I would say. Nearest wayspot is at least 500 meters away...
@flatmatt-PGO Gave sound advice.
I'm not sure how others view density when it comes to reviewing.
I'll 5* if it's way out there and not just a clump of grass. I probably won't be reviewing your submissions though.
