Info Both sides of a screen which sits outside Brooklyn Public Library immediately following a George Floyd rally and protest. On one side, someone seems to have cut out a stencil just for this screen, so that the light of the screen shines through "George Floyd was lynched by police". On the other side, someone smashed the screen and someone else tagged "George Floyd" below it. Among the pictures I took of the protests, I've seen these two used by external media somewhat often, but to illustrate different aspects of the events, as you might imagine. As they are different perspectives on the same subject, taken moments apart, I decided to try to put them together, and found the result interesting. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Works compositionally per nom, also of obvious documentary interest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:03, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: vandalized library is massively anti-wow for me. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 05:50, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Understand the expressed concern of The Cosmonaut but the image provokes interest in fundamental issues related to the death of George Floyd which to me is a significant attribute of this creative 'composition'! --SM1 (talk) 12:21, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:23, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No wow, photographically. A sensible subject maybe, but both pictures are unimpressive for me. The layout with the heavy line in the center also looks awkward in my eyes -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just an observation: we have a ton of pictures about this huge, spectacular (in the literal sense) protest movement and zero FPs. Social movement-related pictures in general don't do so well here typically. Regardless of whether this passes, I'd encourage people to look for other candidates. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:01, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Basile; good idea, but doesn't quite work compositionally.--Peulle (talk) 09:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain Probably FP level quality but I find the vandalism distasteful and I'm not sure I can judge the photo objectively. Cmao20 (talk) 14:25, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Basile Morin and Rhododendrites. --Fischer.H (talk) 18:28, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably someone else? :) — Rhododendrites ^talk | 18:38, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination As usual, I'm disappointed at the reception of protest/social movement pictures. Oh well. Hopefully others can dig around and find something to nominate that I haven't seen yet. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 18:38, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
