Khoisan man in Namibia[edit]

Well, I've never thought of nominating an image for FP before, but this image has always struck me as an evocative portrait. I just noticed the absurd number of articles in which it appears and it is decent resolution, so was wondering what people think of its chances.

Articles this image appears in: Africa, Black people, Sub-Saharan Africa, Indigenous peoples, Khoisan, Hunter-gatherer, Historical ecology, Haplogroup A (Y-DNA), Survival International, Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957, Georgiy Starostin

Unfortunately, most of his face is in shadow. That would probably be enough to prevent it from passing at FPC. This is such a good picture, though. It would probably be a shoo-in for VP. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Caption could explain what the pole-shaped object behind him is. Spikebrennan (talk) 13:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)\[reply]

Thanks to you both for your feedback. Unfortunately, I don't know if that stick behind him is anything other than a stick. - Banyan Tree 15:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given the image page caption: "A San (Bushman) who gave us an exhibition of traditional dress and hunting/foraging behaviour" I assumed it was probably a spear. --jjron (talk) 08:42, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
