Info Cotton harvest in Xinjiang, China (aerial photograph). Created and uploaded by Azonesa, nominated by --Aristeas (talk) 08:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Two things make this vertical view special for me. One thing is the surprise: At the first glance this photo looks almost abstract – the high contrast, the limited colours and the row structure give it a strong graphical effect, it looks like a diagram or a flag. Only then I realize that it shows a cotton field with hundreds of cotton plants and two cotton pickers at work. The other thing is that we can really see the progress of the harvest in the photo – the harvested part of the field is almost desolate because the bright white balls of cotton have been picked … One could say that the contrast is too hight etc., but comparing other photos I think it’s just realistic. --Aristeas (talk) 08:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support While there are definitely artistic elements to this image, if you have ever picked cotton by hand, you will appreciate machine harvesting. --GRDN711 (talk) 16:28, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. However, is it just me, or do the shadows on the cotton balls look blue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikan Kekek (talk • contribs)

Support Awesome! Agree with Ikan Kekek though, it seems a tad blueish, even for a midday photo --Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:08, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
