Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Seaweed farming

Original - Edible seaweed farming in Nusa Lembongan, Bali, Indonesia. The seaweed is growing on a rope.

Edit sRGB conversion, exposure adjustment, minor sharpening.

Reason: Fairly high quality photograph with good EV for seaweed farming. Decent enough EV for Nusa Lembongan as well considering the island has a "seaweed farming micro-industry." See PPR nomination here.

Support Great composition and great EV (I just wrote/added seaweed farming). It could be sharper, but the rest of it makes up for this. Jujutacular ^T · C 02:12, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Interesting, encyclopedic, and well composed. It also adds to our understanding of Indonesia, which is underrepresented in Wikipedia and WP:FP. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It is an unfortunate picture. The farmer is pictured from the shadow side, and with nothing impressive done with respect to DOF or compositional elements aiding the isolation of the subject, a good quality is not achieved. I find this picture fair but not feature quality. Abisharan (talk) 11:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Very good picture. I like the composition and I think it has lots of EV, which is what matters most, IMHO. Luca (talk) 18:50, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A bit noisy and a bit out of focus, but the composition and the EV (I think it can't get more EV than this) easily compensate, as already mentioned above. Luca (talk) 18:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support It might not be perfect. But I like it anyway. Hive001 contact 16:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support original. The edit improves some aspects, but makes the shadowing of the farmer's face worse. --Avenue (talk) 05:13, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on the edit, please: which do we prefer? Maedin\^talk 22:09, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Slightly prefer edit. Pretty small change, but marginally more appealing in my opinion. Jujutacular ^T · C 00:08, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the edit is an improvement. NauticaShad es 15:59, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
