•  Info So, one evening I heard a very loud crash-bang from my bedroom. The hook that held the lamp had decided it didn't want to be attached to the ceiling anymore. Being a slightly odd photographer, I didn't go to get a broom but closed the door and slept on the sofa. The next morning, I went about photographing this impromptu "performance art installation" in the light from the window. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 16:41, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Very playful, nice light, good quality, unique. Your description made me laugh! --Podzemnik (talk) 18:55, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

•  SupportVery unique! A most interesting photograph. Kestreltail (talk) 01:15, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support The hook which created this work must be credited with the appropriate license tag. Also, do you have FoP in that part of the house? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  02:17, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

• The hook has submitted an OTRS and thankfully there is FoP in the entire bedroom, not so sure about the living room though... --Cart (talk) 09:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

•  SupportVery nice--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:34, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Quite interesting, something out of the ordinary.--Peulle (talk) 07:11, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Thanks, Cart, for always coming up with ideas like that! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:01, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

• I don't think I can take credit for breaking the lamp (I liked it as it was before), just documenting the aftermath. :) --Cart (talk) 09:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Unappealing crop imo. —kallerna (talk) 18:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

• Just out of curiousity Kallerna, how would you crop this scene, (this is the whole scene), what would be an appealing crop of it for you? I'm always eager to learn new things or see them from another perspective. --Cart (talk) 21:38, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

• For my part, I prefer that photo as is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment I’d prefer a centered composition. Annotation to File:Shattered light fixture 8.jpg added, feel free to remove it. For a ⅓:⅔ composition, there’s too much stuff on the left and too little on the right. --Kreuzschnabel 17:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

• That would be File:Shattered light fixture 2.jpg. It's almost exactly the same as your annotation. Always good to have options, especially when the installation was taken to the recycling station the next day. :-) Myself I'm more leaning towards the versions with only glass on the mat, but I think those lack context for an FP. --Cart (talk) 17:45, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

• Some of the glass pieces are cut due to the crop. IMO the scene isn't that special, sorry. —kallerna (talk) 19:10, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support per Peulle. --Aristeas (talk) 15:33, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Another subject no one would think of as an FP ... I can imagine this being used as a book cover, though I can't imagine what the subject of the book might be. Daniel Case (talk) 17:05, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

• Daniel, I think that could be one of those Swedish noir thrillers perhaps with the title "Shattered Dreams". Who knows... :-) I already got one of my photos on a book cover. Got a nice signed copy of it by mail from the author. --Cart (talk) 17:53, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

@W.carter: Actually, that was the sort of thing I was thinking about but I thought it would have been too much of a cliché.

I've yet to have one of my images used on a book cover; magazines, though, are a different story. Daniel Case (talk) 18:03, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

• Daniel, and not to forget the photos inside the NY book you wrote. I have read it, it's very nice. I keep it in the "Commons section" of my bookcase. --Cart (talk) 18:14, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Nice thinking and quite unique at FPC. Cmao20 (talk) 23:32, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
