Info Women work at salt pans in Marakkanam, Tamil Nadu, India. All by me -- Dey.sandip (talk) 14:50, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The left crop cuts off the large salt dome. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:02, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for looking into it. In reality, the salt mound was fairly large and spread, so didn't have much of an option there other than to cut it off at some point. Trying to include all of it wouldn't let focus on anything else, hence this -- Dey.sandip (talk) 05:00, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I was planning to support your candidate. I find the photo very interesting from the photographic and social point of view. I find the composition very good and focusing on the labouring women. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 09:21, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Wolfgang Moroder, I have reinstated the nomination after your interest. Thank you for reviewing --Dey.sandip (talk) 10:19, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Yes, nice unusual photo of people at work; is it a bit tilted, though? Cmao20 (talk) 14:28, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Taken at the right moment, and the background with the women coming is successful in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Another National Geographic-quality shot. Daniel Case (talk) 06:39, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Basile -- Radomianin (talk) 08:08, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Basile, yes. – But isn’t it tilted (see the background)? Rotating it a bit CCW could improve it further. --Aristeas (talk) 10:12, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Definitely FP potential but sorry, I've to agree with KoH, the image is not balanced and that crop is disturbing to me, --Poco a poco (talk) 20:59, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support --IamMM (talk) 07:38, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree with the criticisms but think the composition is pretty good, anyway, and I like the documentary quality. I think anyone doing a report about the salt workers of Marakkanam would be happy to use this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:37, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per KoH. SHB2000 (talk) 04:43, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support as already said.--Jebulon (talk) 21:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
