•  Oppose Technically, this is a good image (should nominate it to QI). But as FP goes, I don't see the value of this image for Wikimedia. FPs should be of great value for the project. I don't see how a conventional picture of a street accordion player could be of great value. --Murdockcrc (talk) 09:33, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Question What about permission of this man to public his face? Przykuta → [edit] 14:18, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

 Info Well, he is a long-standing public performer in the streets of Quito, where I've seen, supported and listened (with delight) to him in 2004, 2006 and 2010. There are quite a number of FPs with recognizable people on Commons: see here, with particular examples being this and this man. I've added the Personality rights warning-Template to the file description. Regards, --Cayambe (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

 Comment The image is valuable for many reasons, and one of them is to point to one of the few options blind people have to make a living in poor countries. On another hand, it is a very humane protrait. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

•  Comment -- This is a nice and valuable image. My only concern is the comparison with this one... Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:06, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment There should not be a concern. Two blind accordion players, from two different countries. There are countless similar bug pictures, and one does not exclude the other. If anything, these could start a category of blind or handicapped street musicians, a class of their own. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

•  Comment The more I look at this photograph, the more I like it. There is a Norman Rockwell-like quality to the image. The rich details of ordinary objects, the seam of the pants, the wrinkled leather of the shoes, the worn out case, the taped over keys, the textures... and the chery of the cake is the facial expresion. Visually it is a very powerful humane portrait of a personal tragedy, it evokes compasion, but not pity. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:43, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Support -- I'm a enthusiast of people's photographs (though I don't take many) and this one is powerful and technically very good. I don't see tragedy here. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:10, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Support This is a very good photograph, in my opinion. --Slaunger (talk) 07:56, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
