Long stack of pink white and blue silage bales

  •  Info In a way this nom is related to the discussion at a delist request a bit further down the page. After the first failed nom of these bales, I took some comments made by Poco and Martin to heart and decided to re-shoot. I waited for the perfect day with lots of sun, right time of day (angle of light), no wind, tripod, best camera, everything for making perfect photos. Right. Still Mother Nature had a surprise waiting for me when I got back home and looked at the photos... The "Poco version" was shot across a field and got the most of it (pixel peeping required). This is the "Martin version", shot at shorter distance so not affected. :-) All by me, -- cart-Talk 14:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Darn, Mother Nature can be a mean old *bleep* sometimes. I like the "Poco version" a lot, but yeah, the more hot air you get between you and the subject, the more pronounced the heat haze :-/ Anyway, this one's good in its own right, smells like summer for me. --El Grafo (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I'm talking about the other photo that cart linked above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Enthusiastic support as I had liked the first nomination. This one really works ... perhaps we could tell people that it's a giant marshmallow farm? Daniel Case (talk) 20:15, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It is a good quality image, but I do struggle to find any wow. Maybe related to the thing, that my father is also a farmer or to the thing, that I'd like to see more space around all of this (foreground is ok but the upper part - meh).

  •  weak support I kind of wish we had the light from this photo in the other composition. :) Something about the crop on the right is unsettling, like I wish that either the rear bales were fully in frame or even more cut off. Alternatively, is this perspective corrected? It seems like the left side should be moving back towards the back of the shot a bit more, rather than the tops and bottoms having roughly straight lines across the frame. Regardless, it's an interesting, visually pleasing subject, and otherwise technically nicely done. :) — Rhododendrites talk |  23:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Rhododendrites: Well, you saw what happened to the light at the other photo, so a no-go, sorry. (There is this too, but it also suffers from heat haze and so far I've not heard anyone say that the haze is a cool feature.) :) Both sides are a bit cropped since there was so much junk on the farm around the bales and such things had been commented on in the previous nom. With this crop, a small perspective correction was made since it fitted better with the framing. I can of course provide the whole original photo if need be. --cart-Talk 23:45, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
