Fans of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa
Looks like you're right with the cloning errors... but the white color you can see through her hair is also above her head. So looks like there is some kind of white structure there in the wall behind her... --Jeses (talk) 16:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're right about that. --Lošmi (talk) 17:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Lošmi is right, this picture has been modified and it is not stated in the description. It is unfortunate because it is a nice picture. --Cephas (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Is the name of the file important for a FP ? This pic was taken in may 2007, and I see two faces with the south-african flag, but nothing to do with the FIFA WC in 2010. Maybe are there fan of the Springboks rugby-union team, are fans of... South-Africa ? Furthermore, the little crop of the summit of the head of the left person is a pity, and was unnecessary for the compo, IMO.--Jebulon (talk) 16:57, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - Great expression and color, but the cloning errors lead me to oppose for FP. Jonathunder (talk) 03:39, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The picture should be inserted into a subcategory of Category:Facepainting. Category:Supporters at FIFA World Cup 2010 sounds like the picture was taken in 2010 during the world cup, but this is a picture taken in 2007. Can't we have a more precise location ? Is it in a small village or a big city ? Any information about the make-up artist ? Was the picture taken in a public place or at a photographer's studio, or in any other private place ? Was that during a public event involving many people ? How can we be sure that they are soccer fans, or only models pretending to be soccer fans ? Are they models paid for that job ? Have they been interviewed ? Are they supporters with an experience of buying a ticket to see their national team ? The informative value of this picture remains a bit fuzzy. The author information is not precise enough. Who is the person who pressed the shutter Audrey Scales or Patrick Scales ? We need a permission E-mail, as the uploader is not necessarily the author. We need a confirmation that the author and the uploader agree with each other about the decision to release the picture as a free licenced picture. Teofilo (talk) 20:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment by the author: The picture was taken in South Africa 2007. It was shot in the open against a wall and has not been modified. The people on this photo are no paid models, but true supporters of the Bafana Bafana team and proudly South Africans. The young lady on the left side later took part in the opening ceremony in soccer city Johannesburg 2010 as a Capoeira Artist and in the closing ceremony as a dancer with Shakira.
