Support very good! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:03, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I want to see their faces.--Claus (talk) 08:23, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
weak Oppose I dont think 200mm was a good idea for this subject and I dont really like the limited DOF here that comes with the choice of focal length.--ArildV (talk) 08:44, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support if ArildV will forgive the contradiction. DoF where there should be DoF is correct, just from my (clearly?) uneducated PoV. The focal point is the center subject's right hand when it should have been the bit of saffron between her hands, which means Safa missed by, what, one inch? Two inches? Inconsequential. (And, Claus, I don't get your argument at all ... xD) —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 08:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I never said that the DOF was incorrect or that the photographer have made a technical mistake. What I said was that I do not understand the point of choosing 200mm and limited DOF here.--ArildV (talk) 10:16, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As a viewer, it gives me the proper perspective within a tight shot of how small these people are in a vast field while still demonstrating their importance to the harvest. To better explain my comment to Claus, that they're "faceless" lends to this composition. :) —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 19:44, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with the comments regarding DoF. It is too limited and the isolation of just two of the workers is off putting at full res. I see this image as a missed opportunity. I don't like that the basket on the left was cut off and I also don't like the one person's face being cut off. Ideally this would have had all the workers in focus and the baskets fully within the scene and all workers looking down presenting the top of their hats. That would have been a masterpiece.

Support I think Saffron Blaze is not wrong, but I support nevertheless. This is a good (enough), and unusual photograph of persons at work, in a rare environment. It has a very high ethnologic value, IMO.--Jebulon (talk) 10:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support A living frame. The DOF is enough as the subject here is only the two people and their work (for me). This is brilliant photography without disturbing the subjects with a 50mm. And for those who want to see the face. J e e 16:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The composition is not good. Not harmony exists between the reason and the marks of the picture. To use the telephoto in scenes like this it is not advisable. La composicion no es buena. No existe armonia entre el motivo y los marcos de la fotografia. Usar el teleobjetivo en escenas como esta no es recomendable. --Rsantiaguez
Support For me the composition is just great! The 200mm was the right choice, the dof fits perfect and the quality is also very good. Great picture! --mathias K 04:37, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
