- Comment Less than perfect composition, with the shoulder cut off; and unfortunate lighting with the subject's eyes obscured by shadow. Spikebrennan (talk) 22:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- OK about the other stuff but whats wrong with the composition? Or are you referring to the shoulder?--Kumioko (talk) 23:12, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose - way too grainy, green hair and chromatic aberration. MER-C 08:51, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose - As above. Also, due to the perspective and the shadow around his eyes, this picture doesn't convey very well what the person looks like. Labrat256 02:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Really needs some fill flash. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- What is fill flash?--Kumioko (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Fill flash might help. Set your camera to -1 to -2EV in sunlight or other harsh lighting conditions. It lightens the shadows. The majority of my bird shots use it to some degree. Glasses can cause issues, but in this case the reflection wouldn't appear on the glass. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:02, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
