He is smoking.--Paris 16 (talk) 13:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This man,(Akha Peoples), prepares his large water pipe called "Bang Yan" for smoking tobacco.--PIERRE ANDRE LECLERCQ (talk) 16:23, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I really wish I could support a shot from Laos, but I don't really like the centered composition, harsh behind light and "high" point of view (I probably would have crouched down for a more dramatic composition). - Benh (talk) 07:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 15:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose centered composition, too tight crop, and only little wow; Sorry. --P e z i (talk) 21:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I like it. --Hubertl (talk) 21:37, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • To be frank, I really get tired of these "I like it" reasons given. This is not Facebook – an FPC is not featured because of enough users "liking" it. The suitable approach for your review is not "do I like it" but "do I think it’s among the very best images Commons has to offer". This one isn’t, though I really do like it, I like its atmosphere and lighting, but then there’s a huge loss of detail (hair, ear, stockings) and an unfavourable upside-down perspective, making the man appear smaller than he is and hiding every surrounding. Though I like it, I think it could have been taken much better, that’s why I do not think it deserves to be featured.  Oppose --Kreuzschnabel 09:51, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Na, @Kreuzschnabel: , möchtest du dir wieder einmal in deiner grenzenlosen Selbstüberschätzung ein zumindest temporäres Denkmal setzen? Kleiner Tipp: Ersetze hier einfach Musik durch Bild. Passt bestens zu dir. Zu deiner Beruhigung, du bist in gleichartiger Gesellschaft.--Hubertl (talk) 11:11, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I cut this image to hide the misery of these poor people. The man who prepares his pipe, waiting for the rat (which will make its meals), cooks the misery blaze, which is his right. The photo is cropped and less sad to see. --PIERRE ANDRE LECLERCQ (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
