Oppose The picture is over saturated in my eyes KKnoefler247 (talk) 15:51, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose ~ Moheen ^(talk) 19:54, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Besides the fact that the depicted person is not particularly notable, I fail to see reason why this photo should be obviously ineligible for FP. Therefore it would be helpful from KKnoefler247 and Moheen Reeyad to explain their oppose. It is good tone on COM:FPC to write why oppose, except for really obvious cases. --A.Savin 20:15, 29 May 2016 (UTC) Done, both have commented. --A.Savin 16:14, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I could not find anything valuable or special. ‍‍‍‍ ~ Moheen ^(talk) 20:27, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose A nice job with the man, but the shadow at left is too distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 21:42, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like this picture. The shadows make it look mysteriously and I like the face expression of the person. A different kind of potrait. You can look at it for minutes thinking about who this guy is, what he thinks and how the photographer came to take this picture. However, a short description in English would be appreciated. --Code (talk) 05:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you! I added short English description and more accurate categories. But he is a man with a more interesting and controversial life... Yes, you are right, the same as this photo;). --sasha (krassotkin) 08:31, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty strong support per Code. I think this is an excellent example of how light quality can influence the message of an image. Take this grumpy face and body language and put it in a darker setting with softer, colder light and you get a character from "Game of Thrones" who has just learned that he lost an army or something like that. Put him in this warm natural light from a low evening sun (which looks perfectly fine and not over-saturated at all to me) and you get a dramatically different story. Is he really grumpy? Maybe he's just tired, maybe he's actually enjoying the last rays of sunlight after a long day of herding his sheep. Then realize that he's actually a writer and wonder what's going on in his head … --El Grafo (talk) 09:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would be willing to support if a good explanation was provided for the strange, coloured vignetting, or even better, if it were removed. The subject isn't centered enough for any kind of vignetting to work, imo -- Thennicke (talk) 10:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support I, for one, think it works. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:18, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
