• Someone suggested I nominate this at FPC, so here we go...North window on rear of farmhouse at Kelvin A. Lewis farm in Creeds. All by me. -- PumpkinSky talk 21:53, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Contrastive but interesting motive compared to many a picture postcard photo with nice weather and beautiful sunsets. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:58, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Albertus teolog (talk) 06:37, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment Not really liking the breeze block on top of the roof. Also suggest using Photoshop clone tool to remove the plastic bottle litter. -- Colin (talk) 17:21, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment @Colin: I've uploaded a version without the plastic bottle. By "breeze block" I guess you mean the concrete block (cinder block) on the right? I'm having a lot of trouble getting the removal of that to look good. I'll keep trying. But in a way it kind of enhances the abanonded motif of this old farm house.

    • Oh I didn't suggest trying to remove the block (other than physically). I'm fine with removing a bit of litter, which could blow away tomorrow, but not so keen on using Photoshop to alter the scene in bigger ways. Let's see what other people think; some might like it. I tried a crop where the block was cropped out, but wasn't sure. In the UK cinder blocks are breeze blocks. No idea why. -- Colin (talk) 20:30, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Since more opinions were requested....Focus, contrast, lighting are excellent. I went to the photo file page and saw this old farmhouse has its own category. It's clearly in a serious state of decay and not being maintained or lived in. It looks like PumpkinSky did some sort of full exterior documentation. As for the concrete block, you can tell it's been there a long time. We can see there is a worn sheet of plastic between it and the severely cracked paint. So in my view the concrete block belongs there and adds to the sense of decay and abandonement.

• @Johann Jaritz and Albertus teolog: Would you like to comment about the concrete block? PumpkinSky talk 22:02, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
  • This block is entourage. It's located to hold the linoleum. As a temporary solution, it has survived intact for years. I like it. Albertus teolog (talk) 23:30, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
    •  Comment Per HalfGig and Albertus teolog. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:18, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I'm sorry, but the composition isn't doing much for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:01, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like the idea of this but I think the image tries to take into much and thus outsmarts itself. Daniel Case (talk) 18:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support I like the soft pastel color scheme and all the textures, especially the effect of having a contrasting sharp window pane framed by all the soft states of decay. --cart-Talk 09:16, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Per HalfGig. Composition of a decaying building is truly fascinating, the cinder block, to me, adds the needed interest, a random element illustrative of the overall state of the structure. The technical quality is fine, it's the almost-abstract sense of composition that puts this over the top for me. Montanabw (talk) 22:35, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
