•  Support Excellent portrait. -- JovanCormac 16:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support this is very nice, I like how the subject pops out in front of the blurred background. Just wished you could upload a higher resolution. --Dschwen (talk) 17:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC) P.S.: you used your Sigma for this, right? It is a great lens not only for Macro work! --Dschwen (talk) 17:04, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Yes, used the Sigma 150mm. Its good for macro, portrait, architectural shots. My best investment :) --Muhammad (talk) 01:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

•  Support I love this, great image. It reminds me of what I saw when I visited Cameroon, people carry such huge loads by bicycle, We even saw one carrying a fridge :) Alas, I was in a bush taxi with about 9 other passengers at the time [like sardines], so getting the camera out would have proved difficult to say the least.

•  Support Very nice.   ■ MMXX^talk  19:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support - Wonderful image. If that was me, I would surely fall on my ass :-P Tiptoety ^talk 01:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support - For the composition. But I find the lighting a bit dull and believe the contrast can be enhanced. Why the high ISO number? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:07, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I had gone insect shooting that day and I looked up to see the boy approaching. Didn't have much time to change settings. The high ISO does not affect the quality in this image though --Muhammad (talk) 08:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Very nice picture. But the retouching in the upper left part of the grass pile seems a bit too obvious. --NEUROtiker ^⇌ 11:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Composition strongly mitigates small size and oversharpening. Lycaon (talk) 21:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
