- Comment This picture was nominated in 2005 by norro but didn't get promoted. I really can't understand why - that's why i try it again now. This picture says more than thousand words. Great composition and quality. In my opinion it is really about time to get it into the FPs. --AngMoKio 21:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support --AngMoKio 21:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose If it were more crisp, I'd be OK with the cut off head, but as it is it's more distracting. Also, I don't like the way the sun is falling on his face. Dori - Talk 02:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose it is too cropped for my taste Tbc 16:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with the previous opposers. /Daniel78 23:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Unfortunate crop, overexpose sky. Lycaon 04:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support Agree with AngMoKio. I think the crop is very appropriate here and does focus our attention to the ball. Benh 06:36, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- I also agree with you :) A cropped upper part of a head is nothing unusual...a often used composition element. Normally I don't like centered main objects but here it really fits. It somehow represents to me "Look! This is how it is here." --AngMoKio 20:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support The theme is captured in an impressive way, while not being depicted as a cliché. I don't mind the cropped head, the focus is on the ball. --Tsui 19:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- The ball is cropped too. Tbc 14:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Crop and use of horizontal rather than vertical format. --MichaelMaggs 21:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

- You're entitled to your opinion (and I opposed this picture as well), but Commons is not Wikipedia's slave. It stands on its own merits. Dori - Talk 01:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- Very true, Dori. If a picture is suitable for wikipedia article shouldn't be a reason here. Harris Morgan: Please read General Rules before voting: "This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.". Furthermore if you check the usage of this picture you will see that it is used in wikipedias. --AngMoKio 08:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry: I have confused [1] Wikipedia's FP criteria with these. Apologies! I shall withdraw my vote. Harris Morgan 22:28, 6 October 2007 (UTC).
