  •  Info During a friendly game in the Little League at Brastad arena, this little guy had more energy than most of his team mates, even though he was the smallest. He got to take the corner kicks, I guess that's his specialty. I love how his whole, slightly awkward, body language is just like Calvin's in Calvin and Hobbes. :-) I do hope he will make something of his talent.

  •  Support I love to see his dedication in every fiber of his body. This is also an excellent example of how to take picutres of kids without hurting their personality rights and possibly embarassing them for ever after. --Kritzolina (talk) 08:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Ordinary picture, in my view. A human's back is like an animal's back or a flower seen from behind, rarely attractive, most often. Here the gesture is not exceptional, compared to this or that for example. Although shooting people from behind may solve all COM:PEOPLE issues of course, it would also make the project perfectly boring, to be honest. Arm and foot suffer from motion blur. The upper right corner is distracting. Perhaps a quality image but not one of the best of the website, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:09, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • For me, a person's body language (as noticed by Kritzolina) is just as interesting as their face. I don't think you can compare this little guy with photos of elite soccer player. And finally, I chose to include part of the goal post to the right, since it gives you a clue of what he is aiming at. --Cart (talk) 10:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps the composition was wanted, but it looks random, because this goal is just a tiny part.
I'm comparing the gestures. This movement is not incredible, frankly almost all children playing football shoot like that. Moreover, as part of the body language, his facial expression is missing.
Children in motion like in this picture or that one are more appealing in my opinion, because we see the faces.
Also the boy is a bit small in the frame. There's a lot of empty space between him and the red flag, and in proportion too little on the right. But the action is located there. Thus in the balance, the space is not well distributed -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. I guess we just see people and the world in different ways. You don't like this and that's fine. I like it and I hope that's ok. --Cart (talk) 11:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, there is no question of metaphysics here, for me it is an innocuous little photo and my subjective opinion, whatever its relationship to the consensus, is certainly not going to revolutionize the planet -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:06, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
