•  Support He is more gifted than me, for sure! ;) Diti the penguin — 14:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Question Nice shot! What are the artifacts in the upper right corner? They look like fingerprints on my old slides ... :-) --Pjt56 (talk) 16:18, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment I don't know what was them, they were pretty strange, but for sure they weren't fingerprints anyway I've removed them.   ■ MMXX  ^talk  22:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Sushi... Durova (talk) 04:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Neutral Well done, but the green stuff in the background doesn't make it excellent imho. -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 08:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment That was also my first thought. But if you look closer you see more trash in the background which indicates a pretty dirty beach. And yet the boy bites the raw fish ... So the trash could be part of the picture's message!? --Pjt56 (talk) 09:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose sorry, but I don't think it's an outstanding portrait - rather a snapshot. Light is flat, background is messy, DoF is too deep... --Leafnode✉ 13:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose agree with Leafnode --Simonizer (talk) 14:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Distracting background. Pile of dirt next to left ear, green trash above head. Thats a pity, as the boy would be great. --Leuo (talk) 13:21, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I don't mind the garbage as it adds another dimension of information about whether it was a clean fish (per ptj) :) --99of9 (talk) 23:22, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Jacopo Werther (talk) 20:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
