• Category: Commons:Featured pictures/People#People at work
•  Info all by me -- Benh (talk) 19:15, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support About the quality, my camera was mistakenly set to shoot jpeg then... so I submit this candidate with the hope the composition will make up for that. -- Benh (talk) 19:15, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support A unique shot - there's nothing at all like this on Commons. That makes up for the so-so quality. Cmao20 (talk) 23:18, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

• Well, there is this other FP of these fishermen. --Cart (talk) 15:07, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Striking composition, special in its kind -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:26, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Amazing composition and posible image of year. --Wilfredor (talk) 02:30, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Podzemnik (talk) 05:47, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support An excellent composition --Michielverbeek (talk) 07:39, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Ermell (talk) 07:48, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Bijay chaurasia (talk) 08:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support nice composition. Charles (talk) 09:20, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Question I'm having second thoughts about the identifiable person... any opinion? I remember why I uploaded to Flickr and not here. I may request deletion of the picture. - Benh (talk) 10:09, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• Don't delete it. With the {{personality rights}} tag (now in place), it's fine. --Cart (talk) 12:28, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

•  Support --Basotxerri (talk) 13:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Creative composition and maybe among "the best of Flickr", but otherwise I don't see a reason why it should belong to "the best of Commons". (Btw: poor categorization, meanwhile fixed it for you) --A.Savin 13:47, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• Maybe because it's "creative" and there's less such pictures than buildings? - Benh (talk) 14:05, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• It's an advantage, but not enough. Commons isn't "yet another photo stock" and has pretty other scope than Flickr. --A.Savin 14:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• I don't see how that picture doesn't fit in the scope. But what can I do, if you think a picture of a centered building at dusk is more special and shall belong to the best of Commons contrary to this. - Benh (talk) 14:50, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• Benh, please avoid responding to criticism by in turn being critical of the reviewer's own work/nominations. And anyway, the merits/qualities of the two images are quite different and not directly comparable. -- Colin (talk) 17:51, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• @Colin: you are totally right. I just wanted to point out, probably not in the most elegant way, that the review is a bit unfair, and that Alexander's review could totally be transposed to his nom. - Benh (talk) 20:23, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• I'm sorry if it appears unfair. --A.Savin 02:46, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks to A.Savin and Cart for the different fixes. - Benh (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Commons is more than just a repository of identity-photos of buildings and people for Wikipedia. The leg rowing on Inle Lake appears to be an "iconic" thing, so lets have a photographic/artistic excellent picture of it. I could very much see this on the cover of a tour/guide-book for the region, which certainly fits within Commons scope. -- Colin (talk) 17:51, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

•  Support I second that. Very much! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:39, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

•  Support +1. People here (myself not excluded) sometimes seem to forget that there are projects other than Wikipedia, and that these projects may have different needs regarding media files. This one's perfect for Wikivoyage, for example: Inle lake. --El Grafo (talk) 08:11, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

•  Support --Llez (talk) 05:00, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support - This is a compelling image. Support per others and El Grafo, thanks for mentioning Wikivoyage. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support The sort of picture that justifies paying for a National Geographic subscription. Daniel Case (talk) 20:35, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Beautiful framing. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:55, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Reading about this on Wikivoyage "A boat trip on the lake is a must do. Unfortunately, it is also one of the biggest tourist traps in Myanmar...", I think a "trapped" tourist looking at the fisherman from within a fish trap is quite appropriate. :) --Cart (talk) 08:49, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

• It's even worst than what you might think. There are heaps of these fishermen awaiting to pose for tourists (and expecting tips in return, obviously). That pose, we got after a tip. Everything was staged (in case that wasn't obvious) and even the direction of the boat, the timing... have a walk on the lake shore, you should very quicky get dozens of propositions for a "sunset boat trip" :) I wonder if these fishermen still do some actual fishing for a living. - Benh (talk) 17:15, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Wonderful. --Schnobby (talk) 13:18, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Poco² 13:22, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
