  • Support as nominator --JJ Harrison (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't get the EV. Especially with regards to the prostitution part. Nergaal (talk) 16:44, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you mean you don't get the visual association of the photo with prostitution (ie there aren't any prostitutes visible in the photo so EV is low), or do you mean you don't see why there is EV in the subject of prostitution? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:38, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. Technically good, although it seems to be missing something that would identify it or separate it from many other Thai sois. A bit more of the reputed nightlife would give it more EV, even if it did have the potential to offend. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:38, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak supportper Diliff. It would be a better shot if taken at night with the neon signs and people everywhere. --WPPilot 20:03, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose with regret, nice framing, but the people appear unnatural (two staring into the camera, one obviously avoiding it). Also slightly CW rotated. --Elekhh (talk) 02:19, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Sorry, this seems more like a tourist snapshot than an FP to me. --Avenue (talk) 13:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support Capturing more of the district would do a better job. Brandmeister t 02:12, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
