•  Info This characterful photo of a Chinese teahouse is one I've had my eye on for the FPC nomination for quite some time. An atmospheric mood that reminds me of the paintings by John Sloan. But it could also be a still from a movie.

•  Support Good quality given the ligthing conditions, original and interesting, you got my support Poco a poco (talk) 22:17, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment I like this slice of life and plan to support, but there are some halos in front of the back door on the left that I think should be eliminated. I wonder whether others would agree with that, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:25, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Done Many thanks for your notice, Ikan. I have eliminated some halos at the xy coordinates (700,1970). In addition, I removed some remaining color fringes as best I could. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 08:05, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Thanks, but to be clear, I meant the green halo on the man in front of the back door. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:59, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Done Thanks for your notice, Ikan. Removed halos at the xy coordinates (2430,1950). Now it was clear to me which part you meant, I misunderstood you at first. But not bad, so I was able to fix several more flaws :) Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 11:00, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Strong support Another image I'd characterize as something you'd see in National Geographic ... God! I daresay that this image has actually managed to capture contemporary China in one shot, especially the everyday China that few tourists go out of their way to see (but I did once, when my wife and I stumbled into a wet market in Shenzhen, where unsurprisingly we drew a lot of double takes as very rarely seen "ocean people" in that context. That's the difference between being a traveler and a tourist).

  I really like the juxtaposition of the old and the new here ... the grungy walls which no production designer, no matter how observant and talented, could quite match (and the exposed bulbs and creaky-looking ceiling fans), the men seated around their tables talking and interacting, as they and their forebears likely have for at least a few centuries in some analogous way, but with a few them engrossed in their phones, and the one woman in the image, ordering two of something, seemingly at ease in what I have to assume, from the image and my experience, is a very male-coded social space. Good job, both to the original photographer and the nominator cleaning it up! Daniel Case (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Many thanks for your interesting personal insights as well as the detailed and precise description with which you have aptly characterized the fascination for this great capture. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 19:20, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Support per Daniel. Not the pixel-perfect photo we usually see here, but this is the kind of imagery that tells a story and moves people. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
