Oppose Very good portrait but the eyes should be sharp.--Ermell (talk) 21:57, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose DOF shallow. The nose is in focus but the eyes and fingers aren't. Seven Pandas (talk) 00:17, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very good composition. The face, beard and one of the eyes are in focus. Sometimes we can't have it all... —capmo (talk) 01:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My frustration with FPC when it comes to pictures of protests/social movements is well documented at this point. Typically, the conditions at an event like a demonstration aren't compatible with traditional notions of technical photography applied, on average, here. This nomination is interesting in that it says it's from the Indian farmers' protests, but it seems removed from any protest activity -- more of a portrait studio set up to take pictures of protesters. Because it's just a person on black background, the picture doesn't tell a story of the protest. It's a portrait of a farmer. That said, while personally I wish this were more visually contextualized, I'm still going to Support as a good portrait (though I'd probably cut off maybe 20% of the black space at the top). — Rhododendrites ^talk | 04:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It must be a whole lot easier to get the F number right and use much higher ISO on the R6 body (to make sure the eyes are in focus) than in one of your wildlife shots. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites Thank you for the detailed comment on this. It's totally fine with me, if you can create a cropped version of this portrait. Satdeep Gill (talk) 11:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Satdeep Gill: Thanks, but since nobody else has made this recommendation and it now looks like it will be promoted, I wouldn't recommend uploading a new version at this point. I support either way. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 14:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support The nearer eye is in focus; I don't mind the shallow DoF. This is a very well done portrait, full of emotion on his face. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:35, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Valuable picture that is IMO worth a feature, despite the described flaws. Thanks for analysis and explanation by Rhododendrites. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:40, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support The good composition and the strong expression we can see here for me overcomes the technical not-perfection. --Kritzolina (talk) 05:57, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Expressive portrait with beautiful soft light/shadows, reminding me of some paintings. --Aristeas (talk) 06:37, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Focus is on the near eye. Absolutely typical in portrait photography taken from side or an angle for the far eye to be somewhat out of focus. This is not a "flaw". The lighting and colours are very good. -- Colin (talk) 12:49, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think in this type of portrait, the emotional effect on the viewer is the most important thing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Colin --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:36, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per others, this is an excellent portrait. --El Grafo (talk) 11:16, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 14:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think the difference in focus between the eyes is a metaphor for this man's situation, that drew him top protest. Daniel Case (talk) 14:56, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
