SHORT DESCRIPTION

All by Shagil Kannur -- Shagil Kannur (talk) 04:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You mean bottom crop? In this dance form, the dancer sits on a stool while performing. Thus the bottom part is unimportant. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 09:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but the fact that the bottom crop is poor doesn't suddenly vanish because the stool is unimportant. The image loses meaning due to stool's absence, IMO. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:11, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The stool can't be seen from the front when the performer sits on it. You can watch any video of this art to confirm this fact. Face expression and hand movements are the main attraction of this dance form. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 07:15, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That does not answer my query, but only further accentuates my point on why the location of the stool shouldn't be cropped.. SHB2000 (talk) 06:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This photo is taken from a great event Kerala School Kalolsavam 2023. How can you judge that it is not??? Kindly watch this category. And the background is not fabricated. It is a dark curtain. I felt very disappointed with your prejudice.--Shagil Kannur (talk) 10:16, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No prejudice - just a use of use of English misunderstanding. Fabric means material - in this case a curtain. Fabricated means something else. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:37, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Then the dark curtain is out of my control. It was a live performance. I just captured this image while performing. Your opinion on posed is prejudicial indeed.--Shagil Kannur (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Charlesjsharp is fabric backdrop a demerit for FP?-Shagil Kannur (talk) 14:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is for me - as are man-made backgrounds that some photographers use for their images of plants and animals. The black background looks unnatural to me - does that really reflect how the performance looked? It was OK to remove the microphone. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:51, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Usually traditional dance forms of Kerala like this (Kathakali, Koodiyaattam etc.) are being performed in the nights. Nowadays all these kind of dances are being performed on stages. So by providing dark backdrop will brings an outdoor night ambience to audience. Kindly watch any videos of such dances. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 18:21, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Poor grounds.-Shagil Kannur (talk) 11:56, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
100% valid grounds for an oppose. The expression of the dancer looks odd - perhaps because it is a school performance, not a professional one. Even if is the perfect expression for the dance, a voter doesn't have to like it. And there have already been criticisms of the cropped stool, the top crop and the black fabric background. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See this FP. Bottom cropped and have the same fabric backdrop. Fabric backdrops are common with stage performances. Hence these two issues may be ignored. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 07:23, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
