A man carries a huge hammerhead

* Support per above --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- KTC (talk) 10:49, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment I don't really care whether the flatten metal tin (?) get put back or not for Commons' purpose. I prefer the edited version. -- KTC (talk) 20:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support JukoFF (talk) 11:05, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not at all satisfied with this edited version. Firstly, the quality (such as the noise) of both images can be criticized, which means that the subject matter (the "wow") is what carries the most weight. Given that, I see no reason why an edited version should be nominated instead of the original. Secondly, touching up some shadows might be fine, but when you go to such lengths as cloing out litter from the street (again, for what possible reason?), effectively changing the scene, it gets a hard 'no' from me. Frankly, I'm astonished none of the professionals supporting above have pointed this out.--Peulle (talk) 14:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't put words in my mouth. I did not support the cloning out of those birds, as you can clearly see in the conversation I even considered removing my support of the photo entirely, but it would have passed anyway.--Peulle (talk) 15:52, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Because the destructive edition cited by Peulle. I preffer the original version without any color or scene alteration. I added a selective noise reduction to the original version --Photographer 17:03, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I'd agree with putting the litter back in the photo, since it's part of the scene in this war-scarred city. I'm not really seeing destructive edits, though. What's more than minor? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:06, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my opinion, there could be made some minor improvements like shadows and highlights, but since the quality isn't primarily what is being judged here, why not jut nominate the original instead? That's my main beef anyway.--Peulle (talk) 20:02, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't think any kind of editing is acceptable for photo reports. Subjectively I also find the tonal touch ups less than desired or needed. -- KennyOMG (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I prefer this version with the recovered highlights on the stones on the right and brightened shadows on the left. The removal of the trash on the left is fine for me: It is disturbing the balance of the image, and there's plenty of trash left in the picture so that removal of this single piece does not affect the picture's integrity. It's a much stronger image without it. Similarly, removal of that white piece of building (?) in the background it totally fine for me as it is distracting, is not identifiable, and in reality would be covered by trees as well had the camera been positioned a little bit more to the left or the trees grown a little bit more. Imho, this is exactly how a reputable professional photojournalist would edit this. --El Grafo (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very good. --Moahim (talk) 16:53, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
