OpposeGood focus to the heuballs, but they are too greeny for me --Michielverbeek (talk) 23:58, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

** Support This explains the colour --Llez (talk) 09:39, 10 December 2017 (UTC)- Question Basotxerri (also pinging Michielverbeek and Llez since this might interest them too), the farmers where I live have started to use pale green plastic wrapping on the silage bales instead of the usual white, probably to make them look eco-friendly and blend in better with the landscape. Is this the case here too, just like in this photo? To me it doesn't look like a green tint on white, more like the bales are supposed to be green. --cart-Talk 08:01, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- @W.carter, Michielverbeek, and Llez: Indeed, the silage bales of this photo weren't white but pastel green, like in the other image. Thank you, cart, for noticing this! --Basotxerri (talk) 09:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I've added the colour to the image description. --Basotxerri (talk) 10:54, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- You might want to clean up the description and the categories a bit since silage and hay are not the same. Silage is fermented (it ferments inside the bales) grass or other crops while hay is dried vegetation (hay bales are always open in some way to allow oxygen in). --cart-Talk 11:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- OK, I've removed hay bales, although I'm really not sure what they do technically. As far as I know they cut the mountain grass, let it dry on a sunny day and then they put it in a silage bale. Next time in the Alps, I'll observe this better. --Basotxerri (talk) 12:04, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Grass for silage is usually let to dry off a bit for a couple of days to remove excess moisture, before it's put into silage bales. The things you accidentally learn when you suddenly find yourself living in the middle of farms... :-P --cart-Talk 12:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support Good compo. --cart-Talk 09:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support I think that these plastic balls spoil the landscape, but at least these are green here. --Ermell (talk) 13:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose - Sorry, nothing outstanding to my eyes. I actually would like a composition in which you cropped out most of the hills to focus on the bales more. I don't find that the composition promotes eye movement that effectively. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:41, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The composition does not work for me, and the WB looks off. --Uoaei1 (talk) 07:58, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination I've checked the WB and the composition and I think this get be better. I'm going to upload a new version. --Basotxerri (talk) 19:18, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
