Kyoto Geisha Nape Makeup

Nape makeup, hair ornaments and kimono of Kyoto maiko.

This is a lovely image that illustrates the makeup, hair and kimono of geisha perfectly. It's good quality, vibrant to the eye, and just all-around interesting. This has been in the Geisha article for a long time and helps illustrate the back of a geisha. David Bachler took the photo.

Support - resolution is on the low side, but it's such a good illustration, and very attractive too. Excellent way of showing both front and back at the same time. Stevage 02:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. For a picture that small, the quality should be impeccable, which it is not. NauticaShad e s 09:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak oppose~~. It's a shame that the resolution is so poor.This is a quite attractive picture, composition and colouring are excellent. Alvesgaspar 11:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I love this picture. It is within the resolution rules (I believe) because it's 872 by 1052 which is OK, surely? I agree the focus is not amazing but the clarity, colour amd imaginative composition swing me to a Support vote. - Adrian Pingstone 19:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Changing my vote. Heart has won over reason. Alvesgaspar 23:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. Artifacts, but made up for by the composition and color. Redquark 01:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

weak support - great as a thumb! Grainy in full rez, but good enough for me. Debivort 06:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not terrific quality, but still a good picture. Hello32020 00:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - i'm not someone who can quibble over quality, but this is a high-res photo prominently showing a rarely known aspect of geisha custom. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 14:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
