•  Support Classic Day of the Dead iconography. Steven Walling 03:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Conditional Support Powerful image, but really needs a more precise description of location. Mexico is a big country. Also the date field needs to be filled in: the exif is not sufficient, and in this case confusing: Day of the Dead is November 2, not January. --ELEKHH^T 11:14, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment ELEKHH, picture was taken in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, in the central part of the country where a lot of the old traditions remain. And yes, you are right, picture was taken in January, however, these skulls are typical of Day of the Dead as I mentioned in the description. The fact that they are still on sale in some markets is just that they never really dissapear, much like Christmas or other figures, for example, they can be found in small scale in some markets. This picture was taken in a temporary Mexican Crafts show/market at the central city plaza along with items of different celebrations. I hope this adresses your concerns. If you want additional info, I´d be happy to supply it. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose and I'm sorry for that. It is a good idea and an interesting picture, but I feel the technical quality is not good enough (sharpness, noise) for a modern digital photograph, and for a Featured Picture. --Jebulon (talk) 23:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose As sorry as Jebulon, but for the same reasons. W.S. 16:32, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
