•  Info created, uploaded, and nominated by myself. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 01:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Support She tried her best to stop laughing for the photo. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 01:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose. A decent impromptu travel portrait but nothing that makes it stand out as particularly great either. Composition is bland. Diliff (talk) 15:21, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Diliff. What was wrong with photographing her laughing? If that's what she wanted to do, you should have let her. You would have a more natural photo that doesn't make us wonder why you put "playful" in the filename. All the same, your comments below notwithstanding, on further examination the contrast just doesn't work. Her face is too dark and the buildings behind her are blown.

• Where did I say that I asked her to not laugh? I never dictate how people should pose in front of my camera. I hate every single modelling photos, I'm all in to capture a true expression. She, and she alone, decided to do it this way. Too bad that you didn't vote on the photo that I nominated of her laughing then. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 05:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, that seemed to be implied by "she tried her best to stop laughing for the photo"—it sounded like she did so at your behest. When did you nominate the one of her laughing? I might have been away for a while. Daniel Case (talk) 20:29, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• Here was the previous nomination: Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/File:Playful_Old_Lady_in_Da_Nang,_Vietnam.jpg. I also have another one on Flickr were she really have a wonderful and sincere laugh but I find the background to be distracting. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 00:31, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Trivial touristy shot. Plus, not sure the lady is aware her face ended up on public place. Not a fan of that. - Benh (talk) 21:44, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
• The things in her hands are not bánh chưng. I don't known exactly what is this but it is not bánh chưng. It's probably bánh giò.--Quoc-Phong NGUYEN (talk) 00:50, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• My friend asked her for the name, so we're pretty sure it's bánh chưng and I remember the firmer consistency in comparison to bánh giò—she just make them in a different shape. I've actually never seen any bánh giò in Đà Nẵng? (But I've tried them 1 week ago in Cần Thơ, delicious!). Might not be the best reason to oppose the photo though :) -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 00:56, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• No. She was wrong or she makes a wrong way. Every vietnamese knowns bánh chưng is a square package, it symbolizes the Earth. While bánh giầy is a round cake, it symbolizes the Sun.--Quoc-Phong NGUYEN (talk) 01:11, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• Aaaah well, I don't know what to say then. The inside didn't have the jelly/sticky consistency like a bánh giò. It was made of sticky rice instead. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 01:16, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose no wow, bad image quality ... --Alchemist-hp (talk) 06:45, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
  • I don't think there is anything wrong with the image quality actually. It's got a shallow DOF but the image sharpness and noise levels are pretty good. It doesn't seem to have any significant technical faults. Diliff (talk) 08:43, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
