Info Synchronized cow-snoozing on a farm in Heden, Lysekil. It took me forever to arrange the the cows in symmetrical positions and make them appreciate the Rule of Thirds. ;-) <joking> All by me,-- Cart (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Support -- Cart (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)- Support. --Andrei (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Nothing interesting for me, sorry --Commonists 18:13, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Another sockpuppet of Livioandronico2013. In this discussion, it has been decided to strike out all his votes. --Aristeas (talk) 14:24, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose No wow for me --Michielverbeek (talk) 19:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose I understand the efforts as described but the scene is too common to me, the wire fence and the building IMO disturb the scene, sorry. --Basotxerri (talk) 20:39, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Now that is what I call a real review. That is how an oppose should be written. As I said here, so pay attention opposers. --Cart (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

- Support Froim my experience, herding cattle is worse than cats. Getting four cows of the the same breed (Ayrshire or Ayrshire mix?) to line up with such symmetry is visually striking. --GRDN711 (talk) 03:21, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Comment I hope people understand that I was joking about arranging the cows, that is impossible. Now clarified. Symmetry in the cow-world is accidental, so when you see something like this, you take the shot whatever the background. --Cart (talk) 08:42, 26 April 2021 (UTC)- Support Well composed.

- Oppose I think I sometimes understand form differently from you, for whatever that's worth. I readily accept that the fortuitous arrangement of cows is interesting, but I'm not finding enough in the rest of the picture frame for me to satisfy my eyes in moving around it. There are situations in which I support photos that don't have linear arabesques that captivate me. In some cases, a photo is simply so striking at the image level that I feel like it deserves a feature. There are also times when a photo of an animal or object is so impressive that I don't think a great composition is necessary because it's so impressive on the level of documentation and encyclopedic/educational value. Having said that, I'm really unsure whether writing at this great a length was very useful, though I gave it a try. I will say that I looked at this photo several times before coming to this decision. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:38, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Many thanks Ikan for taking the time to explain. When someone turns something down, it's always better to know why, than to get just a brief shrug. Trying this photo was in line with a previous thread here about featuring unique and unusual moments in time, photos that can't be recreated vs. static photos that can be created thousands of times. FP should be big enough to include both (plus a number of other kinds of photography genres). --Cart (talk) 07:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with this, again for what it's worth. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination It was worth trying, but it's time to take a bow and withdraw this now. --Cart (talk) 07:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
