I withdraw my nomination all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 14:49, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Support An old one (2012 !) But as I just met the cavalry regiment a few minutes ago in the streets of Paris, it remembers me this picture. I think the compo is good (military looking right, waiting the arrival of the President, and the horses absolutely don't care, both looking left). An excellent document too: it shows in details the differences of uniforms, equipments and harnesses, between a Guard (gendarme, left) and an Officer (captain, right), of the cavalry regiment of the french "Garde Républicaine". White pants are worn only when the Chief of State (the President) is present. This prestige military unit belongs to the Gendarmerie Nationale.-- Jebulon (talk) 14:49, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Weak oppose I like the colors and the uniforms but the background is too busy. Daniel Case (talk) 05:49, 26 September 2017 (UTC)- Support. Very good for me. I like it how the horsemen are looking to the right and the horses to the left. Probably the photographer could not remove the fence in the background. I don't think that it is disturbing. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 06:37, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Weak support A well captured moment, very Jebulon-esque, I only wish the left side was not so close to the horse but maybe that couldn't be avoided. --cart-Talk 08:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 12:19, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Tourist shot....nothing more for me,sorry --LivioAndronico (talk) 19:40, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- "Tourist shot" is not an argument by itself to decline.--Jebulon (talk) 10:00, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- Depends what he means by "tourist shot" - sometimes the language barriers between users from different countries mean that some things get lost in translation. A colleague of mine who is a photography teacher explained to our students yesterday that he's giving good grades for well-composed shots, where the lighting, framing etc. is clearly planned and well-executed, and he remarked that "casually aiming a camera and clicking the button is something any tourist can do". So that could be a thing; a difference between a "tourist shot" and a well-composed quality image. Perhaps he could clarify what he meant.--Peulle (talk) 15:18, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Peulle. I understand very well, and there is absolutely no lose in translation."casually aiming a camera and clicking the button is something any tourist can do" is also my definition of a "tourist shot". Livio used these deprecatory words a lot of times here in FPC, for several, very different and various cases, and recently twice for pictures of mine. I think I've proved here for years that I'm not a tourist with a camera (well, I am, but not for "Commons"), please see my user's page. So I need a serious, solid and argued explanation of what is a "tourist shot" for Livio. If not, I will claim that Livio mades some "tourist reviews".

- Peulle and Jebulon "tourist shot" : a shot that anyone can do that is not complicated, it isn't well composed .... do I have to explain what isn't well composed or does it come alone? --LivioAndronico (talk) 21:19, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

- Support per the positive remarks of others. The background is absolutely fine and pleasant in my eyes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:56, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support Definitively not a tourist shot. --Yann (talk) 07:55, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per LivioAndronico. --Ryan Hodnett (talk) 16:22, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose and per above too. I especially dislike the busy distracting context and tight crop on the left. IMO on this kind of shots there should be more room where the subjects look at, and not the opposite. - Benh (talk) 18:40, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose It might have worked if not these trees. Now the background is too busy indeed. -- Pofka (talk) 18:55, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination Ican definitely not answer to all these tourist reviews.--Jebulon (talk) 22:32, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
