Support -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:42, 21 May 2018 (UTC)- Support - Good portrait to my eyes. She gives the impression of being a kind woman who is also tough and a survivor. I think some people will find that the white thing on the right (sun rays?) spoils the picture, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:37, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Probably this right thing you're talking about is a fisher net. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:02, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Comment I know she is old and probably a bit worn out so she hunches. Unfortunately this angle makes her head look too big for her body, it almost looks like the image of the head is tacked onto a pic of the body. The light on her face is great but the whole thing looks a little strange. --Cart (talk) 09:29, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Cart, here is her full body File:Mother_with_son_and_grandmother_in_Don_Puay.jpg. So not my angle. I think this is life ! -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:39, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- I understand, but some deviation from this angle or posture would have been better. --Cart (talk) 11:47, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Per Cart. It may well be "life" but as a photographer you have choices about angle-of-view, how to crop and whether to use a longer more-flattening focal length. Skin looks like too much noise reduction applied. Btw, I'm really, not keen to reduce photos of people to simply the sum of some (often negative) visible attributes: old woman; white shirt; grey hair; wrinkled skin. Doesn't seem very respectful. In the other photo, she's a "grandmother", which is a nicer way to describing a fellow human being. -- Colin (talk) 11:53, 21 May 2018 (UTC)- Info about changing the angle. This person has a twisted back File:Old_woman_of_Don_Puay_grey_hair_wrinkled_skin_twisted_back.jpg. This was the best angle I could get -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- That photo is much better wrt her posture in the composition, giving a flow to the head and body. Nothing that looks 'tacked on' in that. Her head is gently titled and the neck creates a nice line down to her blose which is so generous that you don't think about her back if hadn't been in the file name. --Cart (talk) 12:30, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- I prefer this picture than the other one -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:24, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cart and Basile, above. Daniel Case (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Per Cart only, maybe -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:11, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
