- Support - This moves me, and that goes beyond any petty critiques of anything. Great photo, for what it is and what it does. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:58, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

- Support per Ikan. WClarke (talk) 21:58, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- Neutral Nice idea and composition (contrast of poor and rich), however, the "homeless" is cut (tight composition) and look like forced in the scene, btw need vertical fix. --The Photographer 23:21, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

- Comment It is really great to see you back, Tomas! Regarding the image, the idea is very good, but why have you cropped it so tight around the homeless man? Is there somethng distracting to the right of him? The Photographer also has a point about the verticals. A {{Personal rights}} template on the file page is probably also relevant. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Hi Slaunger! Regarding the verticals... the picture was taken from a higher point thus the normal distortion, also, it was not taken head on but from the side... As far as the cropping, I do not remember what was to the right, for it was a quick shot, but the placement is consistent with my composition practice. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

- Weak support After deliberation. The crop is rather unfortunate, and I don't like the unbalanced feeling that the angled path gives. But... wow. -- Thennicke (talk) 10:29, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

SupportSeemingly because of the original encyclopedic philosophy on Wikipedia, there seems to sometimes be a lack of images on Commons that try to send a message or make an artistic statement, as opposed to just being technically-sound. This image effectively sends a specific message that goes beyond the literal subject, and as a result separates its self from other images commonly nominated for FP. Thanks.

- But WClarke, you already voted above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:30, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: I completely missed that I had already voted on this- sorry honest mistake. WClarke (talk) 04:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
- Of course! I don't think anyone would even have the thought that it wasn't honest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:17, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
