• Decrepit mailbox at abandoned farmhouse, Creeds, Virginia. FYI, this should be my last FPC of photos from my 360 documentation of the abandoned farmstead. All by me. PumpkinSky talk 23:08, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Support - This one works for me as a combination of good form and a metaphor of the decay of objects no longer being used by humans. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:59, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose The mailbox is a bit too close to the top for this to be a good composition IMO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:17, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

   Support Better now. The bottom crop not only made the mailbox farther from the top (in a relative sense), but also got rid of the distracting out-of-focus area. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:02, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment I'm not real comfortable with the crop, is there a larger original that can be recropped? I also would like to see the mailbox centered top to bottom a bit more. Crop may actually be a bit too tight. Montanabw (talk) 06:09, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
  • @Montanabw: This is the largest version there is. I tried extending the top in PS but the boards on the left come out funny. I could shorten the crop on the bottom if that will help. PumpkinSky talk 11:55, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
    • I've cropped in the bottom and a small bit on the right. PumpkinSky talk 12:23, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
      • I've cropped a bit more from the bottom but I don't want to cut more off the right side because I like the dead grass. PumpkinSky talk 23:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Per Ikan. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support It looks like the crop here is a wee bit different than the one on the image page (that's odd) but yes, that fixes the issue for me. I do like the touch of old dry grass and the nailhead sticking up out of the tin, adds to the decay theme, but trimming it a bit helped balance the image. Montanabw (talk) 18:11, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Grows on you when you blow it up to full size. I got lost in the textures of the wood and the metal, which mitigated the somewhat busy interplay of forms. Daniel Case (talk) 05:59, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
