SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment Fixed new section, Commons:Featured pictures/People#Traditions. So far, photos like this and other images of religious practice/solemn occations/traditional doings have been a little awkwardly bunched with theatre/festivals/reenactments or in the 'Others' section. --Cart (talk) 18:33, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Huge educational value. The guidelines state: A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject. Here the rarity overwhelms the flaws, in my opinion. This image calls out in relation to customs and cultural diversity in the world -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:58, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Difficult because 1) the opportunity doesn't come often, 2) there are psychological obstacles to overcome.
What is rare is precious. How many pictures like this one do we have on Commons? -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:41, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Googling the subject, it's clear that this tradition is becoming a hotspot for photographers, much like the mud racing we had earlier. And yes, not that difficult to shoot since the main subjects are not moving about a lot here. But it is a good quality photo, a rarity with high EV and something we haven't had on Commons before so I tend to agree with Basile on this. It is a photo of gentleness and caring that certainly makes you look twice; that is also a kind of 'wow' that takes this over the bar for FP IMO. --Cart (talk) 11:56, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support A photo like this is more about storytelling (even if there is an element of performing for the cameras). -- Colin (talk) 17:12, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per above. I also don't really like the background, especially the cigarettes --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:25, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It's a shocking picture, it is distasteful but makes you want to dig about this culture. --Gnosis (talk) 08:02, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per above and tilted RolfHill (talk) 08:42, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tempered  Support: I feel like there's too much black doorway on the left, but maybe one could see something metaphoric in that. But I find it a compelling image. I don't think it matters that the entrance is tilted, and the body on the left looks actually tilted. The background with the cigarettes, water bottles and so forth doesn't add much, but we can see this as an outdoor workshop, and workshops are often a bit messy. However, his work in making the clothing fit just right on the bodies is painstaking. To some up, I'm not losing the forest by nitpicking the trees, and sometimes, it's really the whole and the impact that it makes that's more important than x, y and z details that fall short of some theoretical ideal that we don't have before us. If we get several much greater photos of this practice, we can always reconsider, but right now, the question is whether this is one of the best photos that's actually on Commons - however we define "best". And overall, I think it is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:15, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Depicting very rare tradition, perhaps will disappear in the next two decades. Pinerineks (talk) 08:58, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
