Info A schoolgirl washing her hands during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana. This was one of the winners of the recent Wiki Loves Africa campaign, which focused on "health and wellness". I love the light, color, and theme of this lovely portrait. Also worth noting we only have 8 FPs from all of Ghana right now (7 of which are wildlife). It will, of course, need to be renamed after the nomination closes. created and uploaded by Amuzujoe - nominated by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 20:43, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Great scene but the second cropped kid in the background is really distracting and unfortunately spoils the composition IMHO Poco a poco (talk) 11:20, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Sincerely of the discourse covid 19 does not interest me minimally, but the photo is very well done. And I agree quite a bit with Poco, but the photo deserves it.--Co mmon ists 12:42, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, per Poco --Michielverbeek (talk) 21:04, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose few Ghana FPs is not a reason to make it FP. The cropped girl ruins this shot. I'm surprised so many are supporting; we've all seen many FPCs shot down for less.Seven Pandas (talk) 01:24, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Do I wish the second person in the background would have moved outside the frame? Sure! But I don't think that this breaks the image. It's still a great shot. --El Grafo (talk) 09:07, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose child in background. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose On consideration, I lean towards the opposers. The timing was just slightly unfortunate.--Peulle (talk) 11:20, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree with the opposers, but this lovely smile of this kind girl you can never repeat. -- -donald- (talk) 11:47, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Clone the second girl out, and crop a bit above.--Jebulon (talk) 16:46, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is one of the reasons I don't upload my own photos -- vast inconsistencies in what is and isn't successful. This photo has a major flaw and will succeed and others with only minor flaws get pounced on and go down in flames. Seven Pandas (talk) 23:05, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Seven Pandas: I think FPC is always a balancing act. For me, FPC is never about "this must reach X minimum wow factor and Y minimum technical quality"; you can trade off one for the other within reason. You can have a very standard reproduction of a well-known monument, but the absurdly high resolution is what makes it an FP. Or a stunning sunrise which is less than 4 MP. I myself have not yet decided whether the wow in this image is enough to compensate for the flaw. But the ones with minor flaws that you mention, probably had barely enough wow to eke by in the first place. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:14, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
