Support The detail in the picture is very good and it captures a great deal of the subject matter. The garbage dump is contrasted with the excited faces of the children (and even the adult behind him) over a toy that many people in my country would not even pick up with their bare hands. All of this is excellently played upon the child's shirt: a shirt labeled California Beach and "Hope Club." -- Kuzain (talk) 04:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The composition is very muddled, with the cut-off adults behind the boy being very distracting. The hand and arm behind his ear don't help either I am afraid. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 07:32, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Relevance. This image doesn't mean the same thing to me as it does to the nominator. Of course I understand the location and the probable life of those childrens. But it seems to me the kid is picking up the doll only to impress the photographer, and that he finds it discusting as well: he holds it by the hand not the body, other childrens and the adult are smiling/laughing as if it was not a normal behaviour, and the main kid's smile is not the one of a kid happy to find a toy, but the smile of a kid waiting for the reaction of the photographer (or someone nearby). --S23678 (talk) 13:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
