Support. Great EV, very interesting scene and you're right, it fills a massive void in our FPs. Would love to see other photos of similar content. One minor issue - it looks like it could benefit from a little more contrast or increasing the black point to 15-20ish, but as I said, minor issue.

Support possibly agree about the black point. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1 Good shot. Original definitely looks over exposed though. One concern is I don't think it should be in the Hay article because strictly speaking this doesn't look like hay which is dried - it seems to be some form of fodder to be fed to livestock while it's still green. --Fir0002 02:38, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Check the definition of fodder. 75.41.110.200 (talk) 03:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1 or a future enhanced edit by Muhammad from the originals. Something different and interesting. Agree with Fir on the use in Hay (I am inclined to remove it from there myself, but will give Muhammad a chance to explain). Also I'm bit uncomfortable about the caption including a predicted use for the material, so perhaps Muhammad could also clarify whether this is a typical practice or whether he has clear information that was indeed the use of the fodder (if I'm making sense). --jjron (talk) 06:59, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Feel free to remove it from the Hay article. I considered doing so myself before nominating the image but was not very sure. I presumed the grass was to be used as fodder because the area I had visited, has some zero-grazing, indoor cattle and it is a common practice to feed them with grass from a nearby area. Since care of the cattle during grazing is usually left to the youth, some families may not have an old enough responsible son hence the transport. --Muhammad(talk) 08:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - So as I read what you say, it is quite certain this is being taken to feed cattle, but it's an assumption that it's being taken to feed the family's cattle. Captions appear to have already been tweaked in the articles, though description on image page (and caption here) perhaps need an update. Removed from Hay per above discussion (note, if it's not hay this does mean the image filename is also incorrect - can one of our Commons admins rename it?). --jjron (talk) 14:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Updated articles to with the new image names --Muhammad(talk) 03:48, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, knew I forgot something. Minor details, minor details... wadester 16 05:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you suggest changing the caption and removing family? --Muhammad(talk) 15:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, sorry, ended up not very clear. You really need to remove anything that's a prediction or assumption (e.g., 'going to feed family's cattle') per Wikipedia:No original research#Original_images. --jjron (talk) 02:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
