Oppose Well-done but I wish it were just the biker and the girl without the cluttered background. No wow. Daniel Case (talk) 04:39, 26 June 2014 (UTC)- Oppose Uninteresting composition. --AmaryllisGardener talk 13:40, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Too busy background. I actually appreciate the mood the people in the background adds to the photo, but the timing of the shot just gives a too arbitrary view IMO. The file page could benefit from a geocode - adds value. Did you ask for consent for publication for commercial re-use from the identifiable people? I had a look at Commons:Country specific consent requirements, but Venezuela is not listed there. Do you (or anyone else seeing this) happen to know what the rules of consent for taking pictures of identifiable people are in Venezuela? That girl on the motorbike should tie her shoes - her shoe laces could easily get stuck in the rotating wheels. --Slaunger (talk) 22:01, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for your review. This image is a banner of the inability to care for the children in Venezuela. This motorcycle was going full speed in a playground, only to stop a moment and start again. After taking photos of this type always ask their permission to parents, however, this is only informally. --The Photographer (talk) 23:04, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- @The Photographer: Ah, OK. It was not clear to me, when I saw the photo first what the message was. Nor had I realised it was at a playground. But I understand now better what the purpose of the photo is. Perhaps its categorization should also reflect this inability to take care of children, such that re-users who look for such kinds of media files can find them by browsing thorugh the main category structure? Out of curiosity: Is it allowed in Venezuela to drive on a motorcycle without wearing a full helmet? --Slaunger (talk) 11:29, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Slaunger: Excellent review. I just created a new category Child neglect. In Venezuela anything is possible and everything is allowed simultaneously. It is a country without laws. Take a picture at enormous risk and danger to life. Those things should also be taken into commons. This is not a personal perception --The Photographer (talk) 14:59, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- @The Photographer: Yes, I am aware of the crime level in Venezuela. And do not get me wrong, when I oppose this image as FP. I appreciate you bring such subjects in as the material is valuable. We need that much more than pretty 'hoverfly on flower' pics on Commons. --Slaunger (talk) 16:27, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Slaunger: I very much appreciate the helpful comments on cons. I'm not a collector FP, I'm a beginner photographer with a thirst to improve, wanting to be criticized because it helps me improve. I understand that many comments against are subjective, I also understand that most of the FP are beautiful and heavenly images. However, in some areas there is not much artistic ability to photograph beautiful buildings, flowers and rivers. The tragic, the violent and neglected despite showing no great wow factor, are those things that make us think as a society to look at us within ourselves and improve our sins. Thus, voting against help me improve my level and I value it more and also prefer this type of photographs sometimes tragic. thanks --The Photographer (talk) 19:42, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Very low wow for me, sorry. Centered composition makes it even less fascinating. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 05:42, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
