Support Archaeologists at work in Pompeii excavations sites. I think it is rare here in FPC to have people at work, and photographs of modern archaeologists are very few in "Commons", I suppose it has some EV. The quality is good, I like the dust, and the composition shows well enough objects and tools (modern and traditional). So, let's try something different for the end of this (horrible) year. -- Jebulon (talk) 17:38, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If this was a shot of archaeologists in the process of actually digging at/uncovering/examining something viewable, I'd be sold. As it is, you've got a couple people in the back, in shadow, not doing anything that the viewer can really discern, and a guy in front picking at the dirt a bit. Overall it looks like they're maybe preparing to do some work. INeverCry 19:54, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I'm sorry of your feeling. It is a picture of people at an unusual work, and I agree it is really unusual here. I did not ask them to pose for you, and I find the mood very interesting and real. Especially the position of the tools. "This" is how archaeologists work, even if it is not how you "imagine" they do. I thank you anyway for your review and your opinion, even if different of mine, but interesting because of that difference !--Jebulon (talk) 21:53, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No wow, per INC. Daniel Case (talk) 23:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, of you want a "symbol image" like Biologists.jpg, this is a complete fail. As a real world image, this works well enough for me to Support --El Grafo (talk) 10:15, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No wow for me. --Medium⁶₉ ^{You wanted talk to me?} 13:34, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
