  •  Support I uploaded this because I think it's an engaging portrait of an important subject: a full 29% of the 2.3 million people in Nicaragua work in agriculture. There are some blown parts of the clouds, but I think the subject matter, perspective, and overall composition make up for this. -- Steven Walling 01:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose In general the composition is ok (maybe a bit too centered for me). But besides the blown clouds, the left side of the farmers face is nearly too dark and the photo is tilted. --AngMoKio (座谈) 08:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose The portrait is great, but the photo is indeed a bit tilted. If it would be fixed, I would support. Tomer T 11:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: most part of the clouds is burned, it is tilted and there is no mitigating reason to counter these problems.

Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
