Graft union on vines in Lysekil

  •  Info A vineyard is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a small, cold, boring, northern town in Sweden. However, the owners of a restaurant by an allotment area has created just that, to everyone's delight. The very low and sharp winter sun lit up all the knobs from grafting and pruning on the vines in a spectacular way. I'm also looking forward to some more photos there in spring and summer when the real action starts in the vinyard. -- cart-Talk 16:43, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I read your nomination text and file description, and I couldn't figure out what the photo is supposed to be about. Then I followed the link on the file description and went back to the photo to search for the graft union (to be fair, that word was new to me). Well, I found it in the photo, I think, but my point is the photo is not very clear in showing what the subject is. My first reaction was that it looks like a random shot of dry twigs, something I catch myself producing too often. The subject separation from the dry grass behind is also not great, the shadows too, and there are some elements out of focus that I would have welcomed to see sharp, like the steel rod there, just because they are so prominent and nearby that it looks weird to have them slightly blurred. Generally, parts of the surface go in and out of focus so that visually, I'm never quite sure what to look at, my eyes struggle to find a resting point anywhere. – LucasT 17:09, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Since the good people at QIC also have some trouble with this photo, it is only fair that I withdraw it here too. I may try again with one of the other "knots", we'll see. Thanks! :) --cart-Talk 22:01, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
