•  Info The first local strawberries of the year were sweet and delicious. :-) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 20:01, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Abstain as author. -- Cart (talk) 20:01, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I understand the sensual aspect of the composition but the half-eaten strawberry and the peelings strewn on the sheet remind me of a dish already consumed, and thus unappetizing, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Great idea, berry very well executed. I'd love to see this being used in an article, though. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:39, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment This is my attempt to introduce another modern photography style we haven't seen here on FPC before. The idea is to borrow the light and composition style from old still-life paintings, preferably 17th-century Dutch paintings. Many of those paintings of food depicted it as if the meal was in progress. This was a technique they had to show that is was a painting of a fleeting moment, and that everything in life is transient. --Cart (talk) 07:41, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• This is not 'food depicted it as if the meal was in progress'. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:02, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• The style is a wide concept with lots of individual artistic interpretations. My example was to show where I got the idea. --Cart (talk) 14:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Basile Morin. --Fischer.H (talk) 08:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Very good composition, light and shadow, and works in the terms set forth by Cart above, but I would have voted the same way without the explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:16, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• It's probably a good thing I didn't go "all in" with the symbolism in those paintings. The painters also included flies, maggots, skulls, small clocks, etc. as symbols of Memento mori and Tempus fugit that were popular back then. :-) --Cart (talk) 08:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• I love Dutch and Flemish still lifes and know this well. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:14, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

• Ikan, I too love the old paintings from that area and era. And naturally I could not resist taking inspiration from Girl with a pearl earring for one of my model shots. :-) --Cart (talk) 06:39, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

• That's a beautiful photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:44, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Besides a well-done still-life photograph, it really works as an allusion to these classic vanitas paintings, just in a subtler way – who needs skulls when we see the remains of strawberries that have already been eaten? ;–) So we have in a single photo sweet sensuality and the reminder of transience. --Aristeas (talk) 09:06, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Basile. --Ivar (talk) 10:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Neutral -- difficult to decide here, the half-eaten berry is unfavorable for me anyway. --A.Savin 12:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Heavens! Who knew a bite could be this controversial. Even though it is one of the most common things we see these days. I guess that rules out any attempt to make an FPC of one of the most usual subjects in an art class. :-) --Cart (talk) 13:46, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Support --Lmbuga (talk) 13:19, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Support I hope the strawberries were tasty. The bitten strawberry is what makes the picture special. --XRay 💬 15:22, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Support + for creativity and because you used manual stack. - for a bit hars ligth, use difusor, simply some paper or paus paper. Even normal A4 watered would be fine. I would put smaller cup so they would be more out of the cup. --Mile (talk) 16:28, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks! I did actually have double diffuser screens in front of the window, and I tried to put more berries in the bowl/cup, but they kept falling out. That is why I selected a glass bowl, so you can see them anyway. :-) --Cart (talk) 16:40, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
