Subject: I love boldness and contrast of the yellow/blue/ and red and the moon looks really cool. This picture appears in Iowa and Ames, Iowa, I belive it really conveys a feeling of the place.

Oppose Votes:
  1. weak oppose: I think someone who'd never seen a hay bail before might be misled. But then if this photo illustrated that it wouldnt be as cool would it? --Henry A-W 10:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose. Definitely a good composition (great colors and angle), but the picture itself isn't very sharp and the sky is really grainy. I would support it if it were the same picture of a higher quality. --Tewy 03:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    This is the highest rez available. -Ravedave 05:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Oppose I love the "feel" of the pic, but unfortunately the quality isn't the best. --Fir0002 09:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    And isnt there already an image of bales of hay, an image self-nominated by you. Should there be two of the same subject? -- AJ24 03:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Nothing wrong with multiples of the same subject, although as per my vote, I don't think that THIS is the right one to "add" to our existing shot. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 16:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose. I don't think that this is the right representation of 'bales of hay'... also, I don't really like the framing of the shot. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose. I don't think the photo is an encyclopedic illustration of any of the articles to which it is attached. SteveHopson 15:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral/Questions:
  1. lovely composition, but I wonder if it illustrates its subject really well.--K.C. Tang 00:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
