- All by me. My attempt at being Cart-ish. PumpkinSky talk 13:50, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Support -- PumpkinSky talk 13:50, 12 September 2017 (UTC)- Support Good composition. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 15:57, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Wrt composition, the standard response would be "boring, centred composition". The hose head is hanging limp, upside down, and at an angle where one has to tilt the head to read any of the writing. The background grass is quite a busy feature of the image, whereas a different position/angle could have had an out-of-focus garden that was much less distracting from the subject. I'm not going wow, which is what we need to take this above QI. If you think about how you might take a great photo of a garden hose spray, well... you'd turn it on! Backlight the water spray. Add a photogenic subject being sprayed or doing the spraying. Make me think of a sunny day enjoying the garden or children having fun. Search "hose spray" on any Flickr, istockphoto, etc, and you'll get the idea. -- Colin (talk) 18:52, 12 September 2017 (UTC)- Oppose In addition to Colin's critique, the bluish ambient light leaves the picture overall too cool (this could be one of the few times when the "shade" WB setting might have helped).

Comment Daniel Case, I've uploaded a version with the "shade" setting. PumpkinSky talk 03:06, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose no wow.--Peulle (talk) 06:55, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but you have missed one thing about the photos I take of objects. The photos are never about just the object but rather about how the light plays on or around the object or how they form a kind of repetitive pattern. For an object to stand out, it need exceptional light and there is no such present here. Colin is right about that this should definitely have been turned on etc. to make it interesting. This just hanging there and the "angle of the dangle" gives me rather inappropriate associations. --cart-Talk 08:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
