•  Support - Very interesting composition. Tiptoety ^talk 00:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Agree with Yann--Mbz1 (talk) 01:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support I too --George Chernilevsky (talk) 06:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Could benefit from noise removal. —kallerna™ 11:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
  • It's the noise/grain issue again. Pre-digital photos exhibit film grain, not image noise. Retouching to remove grain, while possible, takes away authenticity IMO. -- JovanCormac 13:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support High resolution, good quality. -- JovanCormac 13:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, I can't see what is so extraordinary about that picture that would make it featured (and yes, I know it's old :-) ). --NEUROtiker ^⇌ 19:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
  • There is a strong symbolism here. It is a pity you don't see it... :( Yann (talk) 23:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose As above. --Karel (talk) 19:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose As Neurotiker. /Daniel78 (talk) 22:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination I don't understand people supporting military hardware, and who can't even see the most basic symbolism... Yann (talk) 23:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Pity you withdrew. Many people had supported already, and the vote was far from over even with the "roman style" opposes in the end. I think that the reason some people don't see the symbolism of the contrast between the clean world propagated by the newspaper and the girl's poor living conditions is that they simply don't look at the image in full size (where the Cellophane ad becomes more prominent) - which is a shame, but unless voters decide to take the time to do so there's nothing that can be done about it. -- JovanCormac 05:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

• It may not be a featured picture, but you could try nominating it as a valued image. --Ernie (talk) 06:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
