Info A while ago, when one of the firms at the mechanical workshop ended their contract, the men's locker room stood empty. So I snuck in and did a series of photos there. In this case, I think the B&W version is way cooler that the color, but if you want the color version as an alt, I have no problem doing that. It just looks grimier (even though I cleaned the sink before taking the photos). All by me, -- cart-Talk 23:49, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
Support -- cart-Talk 23:49, 11 March 2017 (UTC)- Support one of those examples, where the photographer realised, that the reducing of colors results in a concentration of structure! - or in short version: wow! --PtrQs (talk) 00:26, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support Definitely prefer the sleek B&W version. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:42, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

- Haha, Colin. Since we are only two females on the premises as opposed to about 40 men (now why does that strike me as familiar...) our little closet-sized restroom only has a small normal sink sort of like this. Not so many interesting shapes there. ;) --cart-Talk 17:59, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support Really like the symmetric composition; agreed that the grayscale makes it look more industrial. WClarke 20:42, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Weak oppose The camera position is not perfectly centered as I can see it with some visual cues. Drawing lines along the bases of the faucets confirms that the camera was too far on the right, which makes this less perfect than I would want it to be for FP, sorry. – LucasT 08:02, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- I reevaluated the photo and it seems you were aligning more on the faucets themselves, which have offsets each, and not on the bases, which resulted in a shifted camera position. As my alignment suggestion might look slightly worse in the end, I strike my oppose. – LucasT 08:13, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks Lucas. This object has none of the heat-sink-like perfection you are used to shooting. ;) It is old and wonky, none of the taps are straight or in their original positions and the sink is battered and askew. The locker room has been subjected to hundreds of tired welders and ironworkers since the 1930s so it was really a nightmare to find some camera position that rendered some sort of symmetry. I had to choose the lesser of at least twelve evils. You can probably see this in some of the other photos from the same series. Speaking of awkward camera positions, check out this snap for how I got the camera centered for the lockers! (result yet to be uploaded) :) --cart-Talk 11:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
