A strawberry.

  • Only where the splash has been made to match the strawberry. If this was for real, there should be small strawberries in every little water drop. Then there is also the water in front of the strawberry, It has in no way distorted the strawberry behind it. I have never seen and object through billowing water that was not distorted. Please compare with other splashing fruits such as File:Orange Strawberry.jpg or others at Category:Splashes. It is no doubt a cool photo, just not sure it belongs here. --cart-Talk 16:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose (I've changed the category from "Plants" to "Food and drink"). I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never found myself in a dark room with some water and felt the need to drop fruit into it. This is the sort of image that is popular on stock photo sites but I can't see much educational value for it, other than as an example of the fad for "fruit splash" photos. Sites like Pixabay are more aimed to offering free stock photos, than educational photos, though there is overlap and plenty educational images too. -- Colin (talk) 16:26, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I'm loving this. :)--Peulle (talk) 16:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment CG? --Laitche (talk) 17:07, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Regretful oppose per Colin and cart. Although if we do someday have an article along the lines "food in advertising photography", or (better yet, a wikibook on taking photos that might be used in ads ... Daniel Case ({{int:Talkpagelinktext}) 17:08, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Now that this photo is of sufficient size, I oppose it as an undeclared mashup of two or more photos, particularly as shown by the link Laitche gives above. I'm totally fine with stitching together multiple photos, but photoshopping one photo into another is not OK unless it's openly declared and not just presented as a cool thing without further explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per technical issues. I'm not opposed to having stock images like this one on Commons. Not at all. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:38, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak  Support. To me this is no different from File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg. Weak for the low resolution. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:32, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Based on the link provided by Laitche, and this DeviantArt link, I'd have to agree this image is a Photoshop composite of photos, or does not in fact even contain a real water splash or real strawberry. The artist's other works appear largely artificial, and it is possible that the source images from which their composite works are created are not theirs to begin with (though might be free images). @King of Hearts, Kong of Lasers, and Peulle: The rules are clear: "Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable". If the source images for this composite are not created by the artist, that raises further questions about it's legitimacy as a file on Commons. With File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg that KoH links to, the manipulation is described, though to be honest, I've never thought those exploding bulb photos had much EV either. An FP must be accurately described and IMO should also be clear about authorship of all its parts. -- Colin (talk) 08:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per discussions above. --cart-Talk 12:14, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
