Info Someone built a ladder to climb this tree. I'm on a seat at the top, and my daughter is climbing up after me. The low sun and a wide angle lens enabled some fun with the shadows. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 21:33, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Oppose Funny, but no. The leaves on top are mixed up with the trees in the background. Also low educational value IMO. Yann (talk) 23:50, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Question who define educational value? --The Photographer 02:04, 15 November 2017 (UTC)- Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Comment Agree with Yann, i would crop above, even trees. --Mile (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2017 (UTC) p.S. shadow- Comment Interesting composition. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:07, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Support Because it's funny and nice composition with a nice shadow effect very educative IMHO (something funny can make learning procedure even educative and more enjoyable). We need more images fresh like this, new ideas, creativity and fun. I'm tired of feature every technically well-taken building --The Photographer 18:29, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. The Photographer. Wrt cropping, there isn't enough of the brown field above the tree shadow for me to crop it to be just field. The tree branches may be compositionally a little messy but they help indicate the photographer is up the tree. Of course one can find an educational use: shadows, Autumn colours, low sun, childhood fun climbing a tree-ladder, etc, etc. Perhaps not as educationally useful as a photo of Barack Obama ;-). -- Colin (talk) 18:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Support per Colin's explanation above. Daniel Case (talk) 22:29, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The idea is very creative and the quality is good but the composition is not appealing enough. The upper part of the image with the cut branches, the narrow layer of sky and the tilted trees near the top-right corner spoils it. I know it was very difficult to make any shot from that position but sometimes it's not possible to take an FP.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 23:27, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
