Oppose too dark, brighten up the dark areas and this would be a better picture. --Digon3 14:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support Aside from the encyclopedic value, which I think is great, it has a lot of photographic merit. First of all, it has a wide luminance range, the image encompases from dark to white nicely, therefore exposure is correct. The image is rich in texture and color. Good DOF so as to not lose important and relevant details. Brightening up dark areas would not create a better photograph. It is the play of light precisely what gives this image its rich dark tones and texture. Even lighting is in fact not desirable in most cases, it tends to flatten object. Just study lighting in museums, sculptures are lighted for effect, creating dark and light areas to bring out texture and volume, as it seems to be the case here. This is good museography and the photographer captured the intention --Tomascastelazo 15:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- The darkness is part of the reason I like it actually. Maori carvings are usually of warriors and in a way are meant to be threatening. The darkness just adds to this.--Konstable 22:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - I like it, but it is too dark towards the edges - MPF 21:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support. Great composition and lighting, but a bit on the small side and fairly bad quality. --Dschwen 16:41, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
