Support Looks good. Dusty777 17:36, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak Support~~ per nom. Picture has no 'wow' factor and is a little soft. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 21:45, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Alt much better EV than the first. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:06, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Oppose~~ Could just be a dirty-handed man crouching next to some pre-baked pots... For better EV it would be better showing him actually making the pots... And if he is not the focus of this picture, then he should be cropped out as it is him that draws my eye at first glance due to his odd crouching position... gazhiley 12:34, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Added an alternative. Tomer T (talk) 18:13, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - In which case I change my vote now to full Support alt as much better EV and picture appears to meet standards required... gazhiley 09:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support alt much improved EV. Pine^✉ 08:52, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
CommnetAlt is indeed better in many regards. Too bad it does not have the same WB or lighting as the first. The warmer skin tones and whiter shirt are more pleasing. 131.137.245.206 (talk) 11:06, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note detecting a trend significantly favoring the alt, I've replace the main image with the alt in the pottery article. Pine^✉
Support Alt Better EV. Dusty777 22:00, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt but I still raise the same complaint about the overhead angle of view as in Commons FPC. I think it is better to lover the camera position inline with the man's eye level and still able to cover all the pots and other things behind by maintain a bit more subject distance. The other image from the same user is also worth to consider because it is a traditional family business. Jkadavoor (talk) 05:16, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support alt; I like the one with his wife also. Chick Bowen 16:02, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
