  • Thank you, both, Cmao20 and Poco, for the nomination and upload. This is a beautiful picture, moving for me. Perhaps the composition would be even more striking if cropped a little at the left, but it's a matter of choice (and personal taste, probably). Within some groups in Africa, women smoking pipe sometimes indicate they have had a baby. The pipe used by women is longer so that when they breastfeed, the smoke from the pipe does not go near the baby's face -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you Ikan, I fully agree. I would also like to say that I chose this one to nominate because I am pretty convinced that even if you agree with some of the criticisms made of other nominations (which I don't, but that's besides the point), I don't see how this one could be considered guilty of the same.

    Indeed, I understood that. I think we need to salute intrepid photographers for going where few foreigners dare to travel (unless they're in relief organizations, etc.). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In case people didn't understand it, by no means do I view all of the photos from Poco's Sudanese trip as problematic. Of course not! There are a few that IMO have the problematic style I mentioned before, but this is not one of them. In the same way, not all photos taken during the colonial era are problematic. Curators who handle large collections at museums face that same problem with defining such photos since the definition is fluid and often subjective. [1] This here is a more sensitive portrait. --Cart (talk) 12:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
