Oppose no wow, no depth, too much dof, dull light and a simple composition. This pic might have been taken enywhere in the wordl, nothing that adds that special feeling about a distant country. That prt of her right arm really look like a disturb and the tree above her hada shoud not be there. Paolobon140 (talk) 13:59, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- "...that special feeling about a distant country." There are no distant countries on Commons, we all depict what we have in "our own backyard" on equal terms, and the Wikimedia project is way past orientalism, thankfully. --Cart (talk) 16:17, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, i dont know what Orientalism is and actually im not much interested in knowing what it means as I have spent years all over in Asia. We are commenting on a picture that you have selected to be a Featured picture. Im an italian, and when i see a close portrait of some person who seems to live on the other side of the world, id like to see what is around that person, how she is dressed, what makes her look different from the people i see around in my country, how is the world around that person. I want to see something "special", "particular", "different", i want to see a small piece of Asia in a picture. If not we are obliged to judge your pic for what it is, a very close portrait of a smiling little kid. Your choise to shoot a close portait, cutting everything which is not the face of the model (you even cut her 2 arms), and then let's judge the portrait without talking about Orientalism. Close portraits have rules, and i think you didnt follow any of those rules for a good close portait. She might be african, esquimese, american, albanese, chinese, but it remains a dull close portrait. We can then comment on the techinque of your portrait and I find it quite a dull normal portrait with no depth that anybody with a mobile phone can take. What did your photographic art or skill add? For me you didnt add anything. Should i comment on the beauty of the subject? She is not a particulr beauty in my eyes, she has an average childish siling expression which is cute but can be seen on the face of any child around the world. Should i comment on the lighting you chose? There is no lighting, there is a frontal single light (the sun) that makes a heavy shadow under her chin. Should i comment on how good this close portrait is composed? I see one tree above her hair which shouldnt be there and a large spot on the right side of the photo, just near her hear. What elese should I say? When i see a close portrait [http://www.repubblica.it/speciali/arte/2016/01/15/foto/ragazza_afgana_steve_mccurry_foto_all_asta-131322463/1/#1 i would like to see a picture like this becasue the photographer chose the model and found the way to make thta model look extraordinry. Ew are selecting Featured pictures for Commons, why should i be contented with a simple portrait? Lets try to make something better, this is what i expect personally.Paolobon140 (talk) 17:22, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
