- Info created by Severnjc - uploaded by Severnjc - nominated by Severnjc -- Severnjc (talk) 11:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Info Photo of an 18-month old Afghan girl who weighed 14 pounds when presented to doctors. Currently the only extant photo for wikipedia articles Telogen effluvium (hair loss due to malnutrition) and, amazingly, malnutrition itself. Exposure is slightly on the high side, resulting on some burn-out on the white packaging materials in the lower right (I stepped the exposure up slightly to avoid using the flash to fill shadows, which the medics felt would be distracting).

- Support I think the high value of this image overrides its technical merits. --MattiPaavola (talk) 12:18, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Question How about a crop at the bottom? I'd say that it would be a good idea to crop up until the flag on the shoulder. It would get rid of some overexposed fragments and make the composition less "traditional". Wolf (talk) 12:38, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Alternative[edit]
- Info Cropped per Wolf's suggestion. Seems to help focus more attention on the child, but on the other hand showing the packing materials and medical equipment demonstrated the medical emergency nature of the child's malnutrition. Both have their merits and I support either version. Severnjc (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Support I find this one a lot better. It's far from perfect in terms of quality, but a good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph. Wolf (talk) 12:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Support Works for me. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 14:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Neutral Subject is very interesting, but technically it's bad. --Leafnode✉ 13:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
