Image:Street children.jpg, not featured
[edit]
Info created by Tomascastelazo - cropped, reuploaded, and nominated by Dori --Dori - Talk 18:02, 25 October 2007 (UTC)- Info This image was previously nominated here, but I don't think it got a fair assessment. I cropped it a bit to emphasize the subjects, and changed the file name. It's a bit on the small size, but still within guidelines. The expression of that little girl is impressive, she looks so resigned. Dori - Talk 18:02, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Oppose - I agree that the previous review wasn't fair, the image got refused for the wrong reasons. I like the theme and the composition and will support the nomination if a decent copy (with no artifacts or significant noise) is uploaded. Alvesgaspar 19:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- I already tried noise reduction. It's the grain of the image, so you lose detail (skin becomes too smooth and unreal) even at low levels. Dori - Talk 00:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- DORI, thanks for the gesture, I appreciate the spirit of the editing and the name change, and most of all, the critique and the time you took. I can go with no problem on the editing, however, the name change I do take issue with, for it is part of the picture, its meaning, its message. These are not street children, they are farm children, below poor, children of migrant workers who risk their life crossing the border to work the US fields, where they are not wanted, but needed, to put those nice, wholesome vegetables on US plates, displaced from their own fields due to the economic conditions created, in part, by agribusiness… But of course, none of that matters…. Bees and flowers definitely have a deeper, more sublime purpose… and they do!--Tomascastelazo 15:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- The first thing we learned at my old graphic school was: "Children, Animals and Erotic" when they're talking about what motif is the best to sell. Here on your nice picture we have children which are normaly most-favored as you can see here, here, here, here and here and .... :) --Richard Bartz 19:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
