Support Another image from WLF that really impressed me. It is not as colourful or showy as some others, but the quiet dignity of the two women doing a common ritual is captured in a way that makes me look again and agin. -- Kritzolina (talk) 08:54, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Support May be a bit dark, but still great. Yann (talk) 09:25, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Comment Technical quality is poor. Prayer wheel, but not evening prayer if EXIF is accurate. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- In this case I definitely trust the word of the photographer who named the image "Evening Pray" over the Exif data. Not everyone sets the time of their camera correctly. If I look at other images of the same photographer, we also have discrepancies (e.g. sunset or sunrise images showing EXIF data for around midnight) Kritzolina (talk) 10:19, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Support A classic travel/reportage photograph, showing a very authentic and likeable everyday life scene. IMHO the technical quality is good (thanks to Radomianin for reducing the noise!). I love the colour palette with its harmonic earth and gray tones, and in this case even the muted lighting contributes to the feeling of authenticity. --Aristeas (talk) 14:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Oppose I think the subjects are too much in shadow and that what's more emphasized in the photo is the bright white wall and, to a lesser extent, door behind them. It's also a bit grainier than optimal. I don't think we should promote this image just because the motif is interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Technical improvements Dear reviewers @Kritzolina, SHB2000, Yann, Charlesjsharp, Aristeas, MZaplotnik, Agnes Monkelbaan, Llez, and Ikan Kekek: Thanks a lot for your constructive review, Ikan. What I was able to do is improve the technical quality a bit more, in particular: Reducing the grain, optimizing contrast and tonal value, changing the crop in favor of the main subjects. Apologies for pinging, but I think it's important in an ongoing nomination in favor of transparency. Thanks and best, -- Radomianin (talk) 22:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Improved, but still a little grainy to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:36, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your response, Ikan. Removing the author's added grain completely with my edits, make the skin parts too unnaturally smoothed for my taste. That's why I decided to use this compromise which comes closer to a natural analog film grain and appears more authentic. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 10:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- I understand. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:15, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
