- Info putting aside the debates on Poco's other nomination of tribal people, I think this one has a superb composition, excellent image quality, and perhaps feels a bit more natural and informal. Created by Poco a poco - uploaded by Poco a poco - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 12:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Simple and authentic portrait, but the description is currently not specific enough. Male or female? It seems to be a woman with masculine facial features, and also holes in the ears. Decorative scarification on the chest. With this pipe, the scarf tied on half of the head, and the expression of meditation, the picture is showing someone in a very natural way. Excellent quality and good light -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Poco a poco, Basile makes some good points here, I think this image will pass but could you add some of these things to the description? Cmao20 (talk) 14:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Basile Morin: Yes, it's a woman, I updated the description Poco a poco (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:10, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support The image's composition is strong, with well-balanced framing and an off-center subject. I like the natural sunlight, as it provides soft, diffused illumination, creating a serene mood. First vote in 5 months too. Wolverine XI 17:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you, both, Cmao20 and Poco, for the nomination and upload. This is a beautiful picture, moving for me. Perhaps the composition would be even more striking if cropped a little at the left, but it's a matter of choice (and personal taste, probably). Within some groups in Africa, women smoking pipe sometimes indicate they have had a baby. The pipe used by women is longer so that when they breastfeed, the smoke from the pipe does not go near the baby's face -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

- Support Good portrait. Without presuming anything about her facial expression, it has an emotional effect on this viewer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

- Support Good work in South Sudan, Poco! ★ 17:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment There's something I want to say, since Poco's work in South Sudan has gotten some flak: South Sudan is a very poor, conflict-riven country (and before that, region of Sudan) that is not much visited by tourists. So regardless of the relevance of criticisms of the manner of any photographs of South Sudanese people, it's valuable to have them. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Ikan, I fully agree. I would also like to say that I chose this one to nominate because I am pretty convinced that even if you agree with some of the criticisms made of other nominations (which I don't, but that's besides the point), I don't see how this one could be considered guilty of the same. Cmao20 (talk) 01:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, I understood that. I think we need to salute intrepid photographers for going where few foreigners dare to travel (unless they're in relief organizations, etc.). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- In case people didn't understand it, by no means do I view all of the photos from Poco's Sudanese trip as problematic. Of course not! There are a few that IMO have the problematic style I mentioned before, but this is not one of them. In the same way, not all photos taken during the colonial era are problematic. Curators who handle large collections at museums face that same problem with defining such photos since the definition is fluid and often subjective. [1] This here is a more sensitive portrait. --Cart (talk) 12:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
