•  Comment There's minimal CA (see annotation), imho reduceable. Also, an FP should be categorized properly. - A.Savin 18:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Oversaturated And nothing exceptional in this picture --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:37, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment The color rendition of these dolls is as close as you can get. Original image shot in raw, and I compared the lighting conditions to the auto white balance, with no noticeable difference. The truth is that these Mexican dolls, as well as a lot of things Mexican, make use of vivid, saturated colors. If you look at the whites, you can see that there is no color bias in general. Also, in the exif info, you can see that the scene capture is standard. So basically scene is captured as is, colors represented as they are in real life. On the other hand, from the anthropological and historical point of view, these dolls are the legacy of early 20th century tradition, which to some academics and art historians is of interest. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:00, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment The colors seem fine to me, but I would prefer a larger composition. The heads are cut off at the top, and the bottom is too tight IMO. Yann (talk) 08:54, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Support overally good, although I do agree with Yann about the tight crop. Tomer T (talk) 14:26, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment Yann, Tomer. Both of you are right with regards to the tight cropping. I chose it over a wider crop because of the visual impact, a personal choice I guess. Basically I wanted a variety of facial expressions, but for that I sacrificed general detail. I have uploaded 3 additional photographs of this type of dolls that will give more specific information on the dolls without sacrificing image size.
