Achacha fruits and seed
  • I get where you’re coming from for sure. I like Ivar’s fruit because they always make me want to learn what this kind of fruit is like, and because the detail is so good. But as you say it’s more illustrative/encyclopedic rather than artistic/imaginative. Cmao20 (talk) 02:51, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Children at rice mill
  • I couldn't agree more with Aristeas - thank you, Cart, for creating this new gallery section. As Homo Ludens, we discover who we are, process experiences, and unfold our personalities through play. It's good to see that spirit given a place within the gallery. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:38, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

People using the revolving doors of the entrance to Torp shopping mall, Uddevalla Municipality, Sweden.
Not sure to understand why "Singapore", but there are too many dark parts, from my point of view, especially the top of the image completely black. Everything here is silhouetted, not just the people. And the image looks over-processed -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 13:08, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't see anything remarkable which would lead to FP status. 50% of the picture is only black. Yann (talk) 11:41, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I’m still undecided, but it’s actually a clever feature that most people are just silhouettes without any recognizable features. Otherwise the people in the revolving doors would be very easily recognizable and it would be a severe infringement of their personality rights to publish a photo without their explicit consent (cf. the European GDPR). There are exceptions for press photographs, but Commons is not press photography, and therefore the legal status of the photo would be quite problematic. By hiding their faces in the shadows Cart has completely worked around this problem while still showing the revolving doors in full action. – Aristeas (talk) 15:43, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    However you decide (or not) I'm really glad that someone has recognized what I'm trying to do in many of my photos with people. I love street photography and to document everyday life, hopefully in a cool or artistic way. But to comply with the rules on Commons, you need to be creative in how you depict people, especially for FPC. Using silhouettes is a clear favorite for me. I don't see the problem with the percentage of black in the photo, we have other FPs using the same technique, examples. --Cart (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I am rather hesitant. But it does fit. I had to look for a long time to see what was so appealing about the photo. At first it looks a bit restless, but the strong contrast is the real strength of the photo. --XRay 💬 18:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per XRay (and my own reasoning). After looking for a while at it I find the composition and the strong contrast quite impressive. The latter also even adds a touch of mystery to the image. – Aristeas (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Per XRay en Aristeas. To me, on closer inspection, this is a sophisticated photo where the dark areas are important details.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:01, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:03, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It took me a while, but yeah, I see why this should be FP now. It's the fact that each of the silhouetted figures is framed within the 'openings' in the revolving doors. It's one of those moments that isn't easy to replicate, takes an artist to see (I don't think most photographers would have taken this shot at all), and it conveys quite a dynamic impression. Each of the figures is doing something a little bit different too - one has her back to us so we can't see, but of the others, one is carrying an ordinary plastic shopping bag, one has what looks like a gift bag, and one is looking at (I think her) phone. It's those little details that make this a piece of photographic art, not just a photo. Cmao20 (talk) 19:54, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I understand the artistic intent, but it just doesn't work for me. Top third is almost entirely black pixels, the cluttered background breaks any hope for a pleasing symmetry, there are a lot of unintended reflections and glare, and the image is overall not very sharp. Side note, in many countries and Sweden specifically, you don't need consent to take and publish photographs of people in public places. AVDLCZ (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I know about not needing consent here in Sweden, I'm just trying to treat other people in a respectful way. I have some personal experience with how you can be treated if other people think they are entitled to do things, just because it's not against the law. Besides, photos uploaded on Commons are allowed for commercial use, and you do need consent for that in Sweden. --Cart (talk) 18:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
