Note: the technology of the time is inherently shown in the photo, since both the foreground and distant Earth could not be in sharp focus using cameras available in 1965. (It's a feature, not a bug.) (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 03:23, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose - bad composition. MER-C 11:10, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

  Can you provide any details on that? (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 07:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

  Seriously wondering which criterion it fails to meet:

  1. Line — the visual path that enables the eye to move within the piece
  2. Shape — areas defined by edges within the piece, whether geometric or organic
  3. Color — hues with their various values and intensities
  4. Texture — surface qualities which translate into tactile illusions
  5. Value — Shading used to emphasize form
  6. Form — 3-D length, width, or depth
  7. Space — the space taken up by (positive) or in between (negative) objects
  8. Line and shape

  Replies will aid understanding for future candidate proposals. Thanks! (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 00:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
