Comment April 1st was four days ago, Cart! Charles (talk) 15:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
I promise, there is a girl down there in the water. Seriously, I was mostly interested in capturing the splash and I figured it would be best to be upfront with what caused it. --Cart (talk) 15:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Oppose Nothing special: easy subject without especially interesting composition. —kallerna (talk) 17:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)- Support This is fun. You don't see water of this shape every day. It suggests movement, action, like something happened but you don't know what. --Podzemnik (talk) 19:40, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- moderate support - This is like a good drip painting, except it may be accidental when a drip painting produces a good form, whereas the photographer had to consciously determine this was a good form to nominate it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:39, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per kallerna and splash is cropped on all sides. --Ivar (talk) 05:55, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose per Kallerna. Sorry Cart but this time I just can't see what you're seeing. I agree with Podzemnik that it suggests movement and action, and I see that the photo could be useful as an illustration, but it doesn't wow me, I feel like it's a fairly easy shot and that any splash in water would look pretty similar.

- Comment Cmao20, I think you are reading too much into this. Sometimes a splash is just a splash. :-) I had in mind to catch a big, sharp, hi-res splash, complete with drops and liquid sheet for the Commons:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena#Liquid section. Many of the images in that section are not really wow-y and more encyclopedic, take a look. Catching such a splash is a bit harder than it looks. You need a very sunny day and clear water for a sharp photo. Add to that some kids willing to do splashes. Most splashes were not "photogenic" and only a couple came out as good compos. This one had a 'top' at approximately one third and a liquid sheet going diagonally in a good way, so I selected it for nominating. And most important: You need to come up with the idea of actually doing a photo like this. How may of the FPC-ers here have done that? --Cart (talk) 19:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose How many FPC-ers? So we're not as creative(?) as you, are we? Best not to rubbish the rest of us when you offer this composition as an FPC. Charles (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Amiable as always Charles and as usual reading a comment from the worst possible angle. You needn't worry, you don't have to see this anymore. --Cart (talk) 20:55, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
