•  Oppose Good intentions, but the image does not work for me (and therefore has no wow). Firstly, the machinery is just old but by no means "antique", I’ve seen it still in use. Then, the main subject (according to the file name) is really hardly discernible here, the bottom half being covered in grass and the top part nearly vanishing before the busy shrubbery background (could have easily been avoided by holding the camera a bit higher to place the rake entirely before the bright grass). Third, the device is poor in detail for high levels of visible noise. Fourth, what’s the point of doing a long exposure here in bright light? --Kreuzschnabel 21:35, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support For me the brighter look that the long exposure creates actually makes the image more about its late summer mood ... where I live we have just gotten out of our second heat wave of the summer, and with minimal rain over the last month (even given that it is usually our driest month), a lot of exposed unshaded grassy areas are far more golden than green. So this image is what this summer has felt like for me ... bright and sunny, almost to a fault. Which enhances the feeling of this equipment being put out to pasture (literally ) and neglected ... I don't really see it as the subject, just a part of the overall image's real subject. Daniel Case (talk) 01:17, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Honestly I don’t understand the need for a long exposure here, but Daniel is right about the summer mood captured nicely in this photo. And the rusty equipment is like an allegory: this summer is so long that rural equipment rusts and is overgrown by the meadow ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 10:09, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose I can't understand why you would choose to have the trees and grass blurred. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:32, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

• Answer: for the overall atmosphere of the whole. A matter of taste.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:04, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose with regret. This image is well thought out and well crafted (would support for QI or VI) but does not have the wow that IMHO is needed for FP. --GRDN711 (talk) 14:38, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
