•  Info Asparagus soup (spargelsuppe). My photo. -- Mile (talk) 11:12, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Support interesting approach for presenting a dish that would probably not look very interesting on its own.. --El Grafo (talk) 12:20, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, but the layout is not aesthetically pleasing to me. The wooden spoon is too small, failing to counterbalance the visual weight of the asparagus, which are also a bit disorderly. Overall the composition just doesn't seem balanced to me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:49, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose artificial composition. who puts spears on the table? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:29, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment For the purpose of art. Do you also criticize still life paintings as artificial? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:48, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

• I could do, if it was contrived, like this one. This nomination is one where it would be good to just say "I don't like it". How can one try to rationalize one's opinion of an artistic image? Your reasons for support are very personal. Would anyone else see what you see in the photo? You write "The slant between the spears of the 3 asparagi also helps to create a nice curvy motion to the spoon". Objective criticism? Or (dare I say this to one of our most thoughtful and fair reviewers) - pretentious? Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

• I don't think it can be pretentious because it describes my own experience of viewing the photo as well as I can describe it. Also, anyone looking for an objective basis for taste is wasting their time; taste is and should be subjective. I also think it's completely fine and reasonable if you don't like the composition but, I submit, probably not just because it's contrived. Every still life is contrived because the artist deliberately sets up the objects in such-and-such a way. Therefore, this composition is in that sense comparable to a still life. But again, that's quite a different question from whether the composition works for you. It could be, though, that I'm taking the word "contrived" too literally, and what you're getting at is that the composition feels unpleasantly unnatural to you, whereas some still lifes, though literally contrived, may feel natural to you. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:23, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak support because for the right part of the image I would have wished a better lighting. But nevertheless this composition works, it is eye-catching. -- Radomianin (talk) 08:39, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Changed to full  Support because IMHO the lighting is much better now. Thank you Mile :) -- Radomianin (talk) 09:28, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Support The asymmetrical composition has grown on me and is now working. The slant between the spears of the 3 asparagi also helps to create a nice curvy motion to the spoon, through the spoon and then around to the near side of the asparagi, at the same time that my eyes pan over the soup. It's not the most complex composition, but that's not a problem, and at full size, there's a very good view of the soup. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:42, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Info Radomianin I put some light on rigth side. Its better now. I still try to make food on natural light. Wish i had a garden for this. --Mile (talk) 09:15, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
