Thank you very much, I spent almost two full days removing the boy XD --The Photographer (talk) 14:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the boy, but he hasn't totally gone, one could see him in the television and the fridge. Poltergeist hommage ? :-) -- Selbymay (talk) 19:57, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  Info You should not play with that. I do not believe in ghosts or any spirit, however, many people claim that a demon inhabits one of the rooms of the house.Babalawo recently tried to clean the room spiritually. In the 1930s a boy of 17 years committed suicide in that room, a shotgun blast in the stomach pit, the reason, he discovered his girlfriend with another boy kissing. This information tells me my great aunt --The Photographer (talk) 20:18, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, I just forget to add the location, thanks --The Photographer (talk) 10:50, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose — Erasing the boy reminds me too much of Stalinist-era erased photos. What was done was not the removal of a minor image imperfection. It was the obliteration of a human being deemed irrelevant or distracting, and in my opinion is beyond the limits of acceptable image manipulation. My vote would have been to support the original image. I absolutely do not support this doctored photo. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 01:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment: In light of Stigmatella aurantiaca's comment, I think what should have been done here is have two different versions that people can vote on. In my opinion, anything which does not make the image uncontroversially better (e.g. fixing CA or minor NR), such as changing brightness, cropping, removing "distracting" elements, should not be reuploaded over the original in an FPC. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:08, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  Done Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 11:41, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose -- By removing the boy, you made the video game controller suddenly disappear (see the note on the modified version). The crop also could be better (too much roof IMHO). That's a pitty because I really like this picture and the atmosphere. And I disagree with Stigmatella aurantiaca concerning the acceptable limits of manipulation. What is the difference, ethically speaking, between removing someone from a picture or telling him to get out before taking it, in the case of an artistic picture?

  Done video game controller fixed --The Photographer (talk) 16:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
