- Question - I haven't figured out whether or how to vote on this, but what it is about this photo that makes you consider it featurable? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:12, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek When I saw the picture the intense look on the kids face along with the clarity of the image struck me and made me think it would be a good candidate for FP. Reguyla (talk) 19:13, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- On reflection, and after looking at the photo again, I think you're right. The photo is rather memorable. I also can't understand using the idea of the photo being good for Time or Life as a reason to oppose a feature. I Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:45, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose I like the idea but I wonder if perhaps the boy's expression is him registering his displeasure with being cropped so tightly. Daniel Case (talk) 06:14, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose This may be a pic for Time or ye olde LIFE magazine, but it has nothing FP for me. w.carter-Talk 12:53, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Support If it's good enough for ol' LIFE, then it's good enough for me. And FPC ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:10, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Support nice quality, pretty sharp, and powerful eyes, 3x2 is weird uh, I would crop tighter, and vertical, or a square, square would work here... -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton 14:35, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- Alt
- Cropped to 1x1 and contrast increased. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton 14:57, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- I Oppose the alt version. I disagree that a square picture works best in this case. It feels cramped, and I simply prefer the original composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose No, no, no, no. Alt version: "... it doesn't work this way, too." w.carter-Talk 13:30, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's a quote used by those nerds who love that movie too. :) Just a small innocent addition in case there are some of them here. I know that there are many movie enthusiasts at Commons. It's nothing important. w.carter-Talk 18:52, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
