•  Oppose Nice subject, but strong artifacts. Yann (talk) 17:58, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Question Do you mean some posterization that's on the gray cloth in the background? Because the boy is made up, it's hard for me to tell what might be an artifact or color noise and what's just makeup. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

•  New version uploaded A great photo with strong FP potential. However, the technical quality is not perfect, but a challenge for image editing. The dark spots on the cloth behind the boy appear to be natural, my guess is some sort of mold stains, probably caused by storage in a moist place. The posterization, less prominent in the original, was probably caused more by my attempt to reduce some of the excessive, artificial vignetting. I have now reversed this editing step by 90 percent. As for the boy's face, there are clearly beads of sweat in addition to the heavy makeup. You can also see this in the trickle, starting at the neck. I hope the new version offers a slight technical quality improvement. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:05, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Much better. Yann (talk) 11:12, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Support In favor of the great subject, I am accepting the vignetting as an artistic stylistic element. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:05, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support for the impact it has on this viewer, but I understand it's definitely a debatable nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:47, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose sorry, but the vignetting (and post-processing perhaps) creates an effect that's overall too artificial IMO — Rhododendrites ^talk |  01:03, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Very impressive. IMHO the strong vignetting is OK in this case because the photo shows a kind of staging of Indian religion/mythology. The boy personifies Shiva, so the “theatrical” effect of the vignetting puts him in the limelight in a fitting way and at the same time underlines that it is a staging. A nice distancing effect IMO ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 05:35, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
