Comment Interesting, but I don't like the bottom crop, and the top crop might be a bit too high, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:51, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Top cropped. At the bottom nothing can be done. Imfo edited. Now please review your opinion Ikan Kekek -- Shagil Kannur (talk) 01:23, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~That's sufficient for a weak Support from me, because it's a striking, interesting image.~~ -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would it be also possible to add some information about what we are looking at? Poco a poco (talk) 16:52, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

More infos added. Now please reconsider your vote Poco a poco. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 12:07, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support More information would be nice. Yann (talk) 12:40, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Empty space at top per Ikan, plus unsharp jewelry on head and CA on some other jewels. Daniel Case (talk) 15:13, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Impressive. Also, I don't mind the space on the top, as the persona is clearly looking towards the sky. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:16, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Frank. --Aristeas (talk) 06:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose poor crop. For a balanced composition, I would at least like to see that circular whatsitsname in full. Why put the face into center and waste so much room above? --Kreuz schnabel 10:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To me it is better to have some breathing space at the top as the person is looking towards the sky. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 12:02, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support I find the current top crop (not previous one with too much empty space) to be OK. Bottom can have more, but doesn't bother me too much. --UnpetitproleX (talk) 11:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support A striking unique image. --Adarshjchandran (talk) 13:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice click ---Vijayan Rajapuram 13:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Navaneethpp (talk)
Oppose Asking users in your home wiki to support this nom is not fair to all other nominators and authors here, therefore I oppose for now. Poco a poco (talk) 16:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Same. Is there a way we can disqualify this nomination? This is obvious canvassing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:28, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Only one person, that is Shajiarikkad is not known to me. I have no idia where does he come from in this nomination. All other supporters are active users in Commons. Some of them have voted my previous nominations too. Among those Sreejith K is one of the admins of Commons. Vijayanrajapuram is an another admin in ml.wiki and an active Commons user. Other persons like Karikkan, Vijayakumarblathur, Navaneethpp are also active Commons users. Moreover all these are eminant photographers. Indeed these are all belong to my home wikipedia community, that is ml.wiki. We have discussed how to make that image more beautiful a day before. And it was a very casual discussion that I used to do with my all nominations. Still there are many other users who put forward their opinion on this image and not supported this nomination. THIS IS THE FACT. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 18:52, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How many of them have voted on any other nominations on this page? The fact that they all suddenly came here speaks for itself. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:17, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Was the “casual discussion” on a wiki forum? If yes, then please post a link here, even if it is not in English. If it was on a different online forum, please post link. This is indeed dangerously close to canvassing. I haven’t changed my vote yet, but probably will. So far I’m assuming good faith. UnpetitproleX (talk) 01:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was a WhatsApp group of wikipedians. Mainly discussed about the cropping of this image. I wish I could share screen shots with you. -- Shagil Kannur (talk) 16:36, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My feeling is that it's fine to ask for advice about edits, but you should have explained that no-one reading there should vote on this nomination. What you did had the effect of canvassing, whether you expected all these folks to come here just to vote for your nomination or didn't think about that as a likely occurrence. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:39, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And if you consider this is a disqualification, I am ready to withdraw my nomination -- Shagil Kannur (talk) 18:56, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose --A.Savin 19:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -per Poco a poco, clear case of canvassing -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 05:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination --Shagil Kannur (talk) 17:20, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
