Info I was about to nominate this when the hammerhead appeared... Well, at least I'll give it a try. This photo was not my idea. I was out to shoot his fish stall, and like I always do when there are people involved, I introduced myself and the WikiProject. While I was clicking, he said: "Hey, how about a photo of me holding a big salmon?" Of course I was game for that. :) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 12:19, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Support -- Cart (talk) 12:19, 11 October 2018 (UTC)- Support Nice! --Yann (talk) 12:40, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Composition, background (left), irrelevant papers (front right). Charles (talk) 17:45, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Info Just a small note: This is in a fish stall and the two pieces of paper on the counter are price tags for some of the products in the stall. He was doing some tagging when I interrupted him, so not irrelevant. The are in Swedish and says (translated): "Smoked mackerel 15.90:-/hg" and "Herring pickled with crayfish 25:-/hg". The are very much part of the environment in a Swedish fish stall, as are the tools of his trade in the background: cart with crushed ice, shovel for said ice, etc. --Cart (talk) 17:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- But it's posed photo, so composition can be carefully chosen. The fishmonger was not be presenting such a large fish for sale, so the tage for other fishes are not relevant. His expression is not natural. Charles (talk) 07:55, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes it is a posed photo, staged in a perfect way. There is a long tradition in imagery to depict people with their tools and associated things around them (1, 2, 3) Without the items, the image would be sterile and have no context. His head is centered on that shiny steel thing, giving the illusion of a 'halo' and the fish has plenty free headroom to 'swim out' into. --Cart (talk) 09:19, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

- Support. Thanks for the note, Cart. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:30, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support; but I think you could do with cropping some of the right out so the cross the man and the fish make is a bit more centered and striking. Daniel Case (talk) 05:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose That dark background on the left cluttered with objects really is a bit distracting ... How 'bout taking like one step to the right?--Peulle (talk) 06:40, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support; The picture shows an authentic Swedish fishmonger with an impressive catch.--Christof46 (talk) 18:19, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry per Peulle --Michielverbeek (talk) 23:09, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support the dark portion on the left doesn't bother me, and the human and fish subjects are shown well. --Pine✉ 00:54, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support --Neptuul (talk) 10:15, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but that's a rather clear example of "QI (and maybe VI) but not FP". Neither light nor composition are FP-worthy. --Code (talk) 11:12, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Code I'm afraid --Poco2 15:52, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Code as well.--Ermell (talk) 09:22, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
