Oppose: Underexposed. --Julian H. (talk/files) 20:29, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The lighting does not disturb me, not every image needs to be bright and sunny, shadow is allowable. In this case, it's a matter of (natural) lighting instead of a technical issue. I like the subject and composition, at least its not a jetfighter or some other kind of flashy equipment, just a guy doing his job. The pixellation in the guys face bothers me, though.

Comment: I support what you said about not every image having to be bright and sunny. It just seems to me like this picture was edited particularly to increase contrast and create a dark look, because especially in the bottom left corner, large areas are completely black. This would explain the pixellation you mentioned, too. (Also, it looks more like a guy posing than like a guy doing his job to me.) --Julian H. (talk/files) 09:38, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Point(s) taken. Kleuske (talk) 10:21, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same as Julian H. In the end, the pixelisation is disturbing for such shot. --PierreSelim (talk) 15:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
