•  Support An old coca cola slogan from 1939 "Coca-Cola goes along" -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose - correlation is not the same as causation. Downtowngal (talk) 02:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Comment Yes, you are right.... but why oppose? isn´t the picture at hand the object of the evaluation? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:11, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 Comment - He likes Coca-cola (surely he could have bought a local Mexican drink). Does that mean he is enabling his own poverty? Possibly, but the composition does not convince me that that is true. Maybe someone gave him the bottle. Do you see what I mean? The idea of causation is there, but the composition just presents correlation. Downtowngal (talk) 03:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 Comment How do you know he is mexican? in mexico we receive tourists from all over the world... could be a camouflaged foreigner... but the point is the image? why the discourse? is it a featurable picture? If not, why not? critique on photographic/encyclopedic grounds, not philosophical! --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 Comment - ok, Tomas, I'll say it more plainly. The idea is there, but the composition isn't strong enough. Downtowngal (talk) 03:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 Comment Now, that´s language I can understand, I am just a humble pipe salesman, but maybe some day I will learn about composition, photography... ;o) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Don't see the point of the discussion. Of course Coca-Cola didn't cause his poverty. And of course this is a great picture, engaging and interesting. -- JovanCormac (talk) 06:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Jean-Pol GRANDMONT (talk) 06:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice colours and quality but the tilt is disturbing (looks like he is to slide off to the right) and the picture does nothing special for me—just a bloke and a coke - Peripitus (talk) 12:48, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose The colors don't seem to integrate well to my eye. The pose of the man was captured well, but I think the coke bottle detracts from the picture. --JalalV (talk) 03:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Peripitus. —kallerna™ 10:05, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
