Info Grocery and cosmetics shop in the April 9th 1947 Square, better known as Grand Socco, Tangier, Morocco. All by me, Poco2 19:16, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Support -- Poco2 19:16, 15 February 2017 (UTC)- Support I wasn't wowed until I opened this at full size and smelled the spices and the musty old wood in the shop. :) --cart-Talk 22:01, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- Support lNeverCry 06:26, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Support Nice documentary work --The Photographer 10:34, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Poor lighting and composition - just look at the red thing in the foreground. Charles (talk) 11:16, 16 February 2017 (UTC)- Support Per cart and The Photographer. Daniel Case (talk) 21:51, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Charles, poor light conditions. No FP for me. --Michielverbeek (talk) 06:34, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Barely Oppose - I'm really torn because this is a good portrait of a shopkeeper at his store, and the light conditions are what they are and give the photo a realism I can accept. But what really distracts me is precisely the red plastic thing in front. It spoils the symmetry of the spice bins. In the end, as much as I like this photo, when I think about whether it's really one of the best photos on the site, I reluctantly demur. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Comment So, when a photographer barges into a store in Tangier, he should bring his own lighting equipment and ask the owner to rearrange the items in the shop so that the photo will be more aesthetically pleasing for a bunch of picky westerners, rather than documentary? --cart-Talk 13:18, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Of course not, but if you were to barge into a store and take a snap-shot, don't expect to become an FP. 11:16, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Support - High-quality work with plenty of illustrative value. One little plastic device at the edge of the frame can't ruin the whole thing. Real life, alas, isn't always tidy or "symmetrical." –Juliancolton | Talk 15:58, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Support --Ralf Roleček 21:58, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
