Support -- The statue somewhat off center, should perhaps be cropped, but I like the oval halo centered on both the statue and Mr Obama, the notability of the subjects, the alignment of the subjects which mostly present separate figures, the mood which is enhanced by the mist, the interesting purplish colour, the focal points of family and gazing statue, and their gaze or attention which is mostly focused on the statue. The steps below obscure their feet and is one of several distractions, but at least its a straight line. JMK (talk)
Support -- I find that the obstacles and slight assimetries actually enhance this image. The "distractions" make it feel natural and non-staged while not obscuring too much the subjects, which are notable and interesting. YuriNikolai (talk) 23:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think I would like this if it were the family of Joe Schmo in the picture, rather than Barack Obama. Therefore, I support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:12, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very atmospheric. – Has anybody got an idea about the appropriate gallery section? First I considered Commons:Featured pictures/Historical#1990-now, but per Ikan’s argument this is not a typical “historical” photo: it would work also with an arbitrary family and it does not show Obama doing official political work etc. And Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Sculptures#Statues outdoors does not fit because the statue of Christ is not the main subject of the photo. So Commons:Featured pictures/People#Standing people seems appropriate, but is rather vague. Any suggestions? --Aristeas (talk) 07:09, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a difficult question because we're seeing people's backs and the statue in fog. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:57, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aristeas, my suggestion is Commons:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena#Fog because mist (fog) is the main factor in this picture. MZaplotnik^(talk) 13:50, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MZaplotnik: A nice idea! Well, it’s still difficult to decide – all ideas apply, but no one is is simply convincing … (Probably it is a special strength of this photo that it does not fit easily in any typical pigeonhole, but is creative and unmanageable ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 17:10, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
