  •   Info created by Julian Meehan - uploaded by User:A1Cafel - nominated by User:Geelongite -- Geelongite (talk) 09:37, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support -- nominating this image as a featured image, as although it’s a few years old it’s in general, and technically speaking, a fantastic image that shows plenty of movement and action and highlights the passion of the participants in the School Strike for Climate. Furthermore, this image has been used numerous times both in Australian media and world wide since it’s been publishedGeelongite (talk) 09:37, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Info Gallery link improved. The gallery link should also include an anchor for the matching section on the gallery page. This is necessary to allow the FP bot to sort the photo (if it gets promoted) right in the correct section. --Aristeas (talk) 11:08, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support There are some technical shortcomings (leftmost head cropped, feet cropped, tight top/right crops, perspective leaning, sky overexposed). But the most important parts (the faces and the big banner) are crisp and sharp, and from a photo taken right in the middle of action we do not expect technical perfection, we expect that it documents and conveys an accurate and moving impression of that moment. Here this photo delivers: I feel like standing directly in front of the protest, I hear the voices, I sense the emotions. Shortcomings like the tight crops and the perspective even seem to contribute to that feeling of closeness and immediateness, so these vices become virtues. --Aristeas (talk) 12:15, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support per nom & Aristeas. It's overexposed and distorted, but it succeeds where so many FP candidates of demonstrations have failed in the past. --El Grafo (talk) 12:32, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support perhaps my most predictable support. :) could it be FPC is ready to promote such an image? (oh, but it needs a rename afterwards) — Rhododendrites talk |  17:10, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support per others. Distortion on the viewer's left is pretty weird, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:51, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1. {{Personality rights}} missing
2. Strong distorsions at the borders
3. Foot cropped
That being said, it's striking because the young ones seem totally in phase -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I hope that I have done the renaming right and fixed all instances of the old filename. @Geelongite: When you want to nominate a file as Featured picture, Quality image or Valued image, please check the filename first. If it meaningless (like in this case) or plain wrong, please request renaming the file first before you nominate it – it’s way easier to rename a file before the nomination ;–). Thank you! --Aristeas (talk) 07:17, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment I have considered to offer a crop as alternative: we could crop the photo just at the left so that the distorted face is removed. But then one foot of the leftmost person would still be in the frame, and that could be considered as irritating, too … ;–). What do you folks think? --Aristeas (talk) 15:05, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
