•  Support Hamilton style portrait. We can't have pictures by David Hamilton, but this can be a nice substitute to illustrate the style. -- Yann (talk) 20:10, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment - This is pretty soft and washed-out looking to me. Please help me (us?) understand what you think is great about the photo; maybe I'll learn something. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:19, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Discussion of David Hamilton

This is on purpose. Don't you know Hamilton's works? Regards, Yann (talk) 07:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC) This is nothing like David Hamilton's work. Charles (talk) 09:34, 27 September 2017 (UTC) Thankfully not since many of his photos are borderline child pornography. --cart-Talk 10:20, 27 September 2017 (UTC) You really don't know what you are talking about. First result on Google: [1]. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:33, 27 September 2017 (UTC) If you read the article about him and picture google 'David Hamilton' you might feel differently. --cart-Talk 10:46, 27 September 2017 (UTC) I read it before creating this nomination. One think is the accusations against him, another one is his pictures, which are world wide recognized as works of art, except by a few prudish guys. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:28, 27 September 2017 (UTC) I'm not talking about this photo or any of his many beautiful pictures of young children. My comment was regarding the nude or semi-nude photos of underage girls he has also done. If I had a daughter about 12-16 years-old, I would not like to have her photographed half-nude, however artfully, and the photos published in books and online. If that makes me a "prudish guy", so be it. --cart-Talk 14:03, 27 September 2017 (UTC) I suppose that the models were quite happy to be photographed. Anyway, this is to show a photography style, not to discuss Hamilton's working methods. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:46, 27 September 2017 (UTC) [Unindent] So discuss his style. What's great about this photo? I don't assume something is good just because it looks (or doesn't look) like the work of someone famous. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:07, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Support auch wenn Hamilton nie braunhaarige Mädchen fotografiert hat. --Ralf Roleček 12:40, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support on its own merits; it's a well-done portrait. Walking this back to  Neutral; there are some dust spots that could be cleared up. Daniel Case (talk) 16:14, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose after having taken a good close look while leaving the notes; there's just too much noise and unsharpness for this to be an FP here. Daniel Case (talk) 02:12, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

• • Daniel Case: Could you please leave a note? Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

I have; however see above. Daniel Case (talk) 02:12, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Disregarding all similarities with other photos or works and judging this purely on its own merits and the genre it is done in, I will unfortunately oppose it. It is a good attempt at getting a dreamlike almost fairy tale atmosphere but there are details that makes it not quite there. The bottom and right crop is cutting the right girl a bit too much, the light is a bit too dull and flat, there should be at least some spark or highlights in the hair. I'm not a fan of the blue nail polish either, it clashes with the rest of the colors in the image and distracts from the face so close by. For a dreamlike portrait, you should go all in with romance. Sorry. --cart-Talk 20:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Wolf im Wald 10:56, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I'm not impressed by this hazy, somewhat unsharp picture, and no-one's explained to me why I should be. I find it a bit uncomfortable to look at this overly bright picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:57, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination I can't fix these blurry reviews. Yann (talk) 08:43, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
