Oppose I normally avoid voting on the esoteric, but couldn't this time... 21:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC) Charles (talk) 07:31, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- That's ok Charles, but would you please leave a reson for your oppose per the rules. --Cart (talk) 11:19, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- I just cannot see anything special; no 'wow' at all. An image like this with no encyclopaedic value, but submitted as an 'artistic' image has to be pretty special to fulfil the FP criteria highly skilled photographers/highest quality. I can't see a demonstration of technical skill (composition/sharpness etc) and I personally don't find the dalek comparison convincing - they look nothing like your shot. Of course humour (and do feel free to oppose my next FP nomination with its light-hearted commentary) is never going to cross all cultures/borders. Many members of our community are happy to vote for your inventive shots, but not this time. Sorry. Charles (talk) 11:42, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your thorough explanation. Yes, I experiment a lot, testing the boundaries and I take all votes given to such photos in good humor. Of course I don't expect a nom like this to just sail through without opposition, but that's not a reason for not trying/testing. ;) As for "and do feel free to oppose my next FP", you know me better than that, I never "revenge vote" or anything like that. I always vote on just the photo. --Cart (talk) 12:08, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- I know you do, that's why I was offering you the opportunity to reject my 'humour'. Charles (talk) 13:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- We'll see. ;) So far I think you have produced some rather humorous photos. --Cart (talk) 13:58, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

- Mild support It is now impossible to not unsee that Daleks comparison ... Daniel Case (talk) 04:53, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - Good quality, but the composition isn't really working for me; sorry to party-poop, as I like your whimsy on this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:12, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Ikan, sorry, I cannot see anything here that I'd categorize as FP-worthy Poco2 06:12, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per others --Uoaei1 (talk) 12:28, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Funny after reading the info-text on this page, but at first sight the illusion is not strong enough. A more explicit ambiguity of this kind File:Faces_in_places_(3205402229).jpg would have worked better with the same quality. Given the description, it's hard to figure out the purpose here -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:04, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support I am afraid the cousin has become a Northkorean soldier.--Christof46 (talk) 21:17, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, I don't get it. Referring to the humour mentioned above, since Colin said elsewhere that my comment here was not clear. --Yann (talk) 06:01, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

- Thanks for that addition. The main purpose of the photo was to show off the two pipe couplings that stuck out in a funny way from the construction. The ambiguous interpretation that they looked like two eyes came second as a bonus. I was banking on that seeing some sort of face (dalek/soldier/fiddler crab/whatever) in the photo was universal. --Cart (talk) 09:25, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I think it's time to pull this one now. Thanks all! :) --Cart (talk) 11:40, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
