•  Support -- Fbrandao.1963 (talk) 00:01, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment - I seem to remember a similar picture that's an FP, but I can't find it. Welcome, Fbrandao.1963! You need to use a more precise category for this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek: I think what you remember might be this picture being a winner of this 2017 Photo challenge. --El Grafo (talk) 10:37, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
• Changed category to People at work – seems to be most appropriate to me? --El Grafo (talk) 10:39, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - I suppose you're right, El Grafo. I find the photo very interesting to look at and also significant as a documentation of a very hard and dangerous occupation, so I support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:28, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose There is no attractive composition, even though it is a valuable image. Charles (talk) 11:57, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Question - When you say "attractive", do you think an ugly scene that's a good composition can be an FP? I don't think this scene is beautiful, but I think it's interesting and well composed, and I'm wondering whether you oppose based on a mere lack of beauty or a disagreement with the composition. Aesthetics are very personal, so whichever reason you have is legitimate, but I happen not to think beauty is essential in an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

• I didn't say it's an unattractive (or ugly) scene; It's an unattractive composition. I don't like the POV; there is no symmetry to the sight lines; perspective distortion; there are no faces visible; all the vats are truncated (we see neither the whole area, nor a featured area; croped figure top right; the light reflected on a water in the vats is offputting.

• Got it. I understand. You have properly high standards for an FP composition. I found it good to move my eyes around, but I definitely get your points. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:07, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Charles. Daniel Case (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Support per Ikan. This image of tanning in well pots as it has been done for centuries draws me in. It makes me think and says wow to me. --GRDN711 (talk) 02:17, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Charles. --Basotxerri (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Ivar (talk) 13:00, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
