Oppose I cannot understand the support votes. The lighting is poor and the sewing machine and flag are out of focus. Charles (talk) 11:06, 23 January 2017 (UTC)- Oppose Insufficient DoF --Uoaei1 (talk) 14:30, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Sorry, per others. --Famberhorst (talk) 07:02, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Unfortunately, I have to agree with the others. It would also have been better to see him actually working on the flag. --cart-Talk 18:52, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose This had the potential to be a wonderful National Geographic-style portrait of a man at work. His head and shoulders are wonderfully done.
Unfortunately, there's the rest of the photo ... cluttered and often distractingly out of focus. Daniel Case (talk) 02:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case: I must interject here - I was reading Nat Geo (an issue from around 2010) last night and a lot of their images are not anywhere near the technical quality we demand here. Grain, poor focus and subject movement on nearly every page. Their photographers are not pixel peepers, they just want to get the shot; and if that means using a small aperture or high ISO, so be it. I'm not saying it's a bad thing we have those standards here, just that Nat Geo are not the epitome of technical quality. Their images have a lot of character though. -- Thennicke (talk) 07:42, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Thennicke: That's sort of what I meant ... if I were the NG editor, I might have cropped in on this one a bit to isolate the face more. Daniel Case (talk) 07:51, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough -- Thennicke (talk) 09:08, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
