Oppose Light, composition and fake bg --The Photographer 00:13, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- fake bg??? Yann (talk) 05:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- For a fake the background nose matches the noise in the face pretty well ;-) --C-M (talk) 20:47, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - Weird. He's crowded on the left side and partially cropped, and then there's a lot of empty space on the right. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:59, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: That's how to use the rule of thirds. Yann (talk) 05:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- If some rule resulted in this amount of utterly blank space, IMO it was poorly applied. I don't think thirds is a rule, just one idea that can be good in some situations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't mind the composition; I like putting him off-center ... but the background is too noisy. Daniel Case (talk) 04:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- What's important is the portrait, not the background. Yann (talk) 05:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Question Then why is there more sky in the picture than him? Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support Very good portrait. Yann (talk) 05:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support Per Yann. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 06:00, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

- Support The off-center works very well here since his pose and clothes create diagonal lines. The sky could do with some work per Daniel, but it is a very gutsy and beautiful portrait. You can almost hear the talented Tinariwen in the background at what has to be one of the coolest (if hottest!) festivals in the world. --Cart (talk) 09:43, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Comment I'd prefer a portrait orientation, see note --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:16, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- I think that big blue vastness confer something of the desert-feeling in the photo. That is what the sky feels and looks like when you're in a desert, big and empty. --Cart (talk) 10:39, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

- Comment Nice colors, interesting subject, good quality image, but the eyes are in the shadow, and there's too much empty space on the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:35, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Neutral The subject looks pretty authentic, the processing could have been better, though. A sharpening mask would have helped here both to reduce noise in the sky and improve the sharpness of the subject Poco2 08:20, 5 May 2018 (UTC)- Support --C-M (talk) 20:47, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
