Reason: Very high EV, and adds to the article well. I think it's good to have 'journalistic' images on Wikipedia and IMO, this is a good example. I know the resolution is a bit short but this is from my memory, a 100% crop of the actual image taken on scene where people were obviously in the way and pushing. Has been stable in the article for some time now.

Comment/leaning Support - Categories need to be fixed, and there are curious blotches on the cheeks of the man in the blue shirt. Owing to the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the image, and the difficulty of the shot, I think we can forgive size and composition. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:15, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the blotches on the cheeks are natural. Looks like Vitiligo to me. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:24, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent photojournalism. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 19:17, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Agree with Adam Cuerden, I can imagine a photo like this being used by Associated Press or Reuters. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:35, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. An unusual genre of photography for Wikipedia, but clearly of a very high quality. Gives an excellent impression of what is going on. J Milburn (talk) 12:27, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Perfectly centered photo, good EV, gives the reader a strong understanding of the rescue efforts for this event. ///EuroCarGT 17:12, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Since this looks like it will pass, can it be scheduled for 29th March next year? --Muhammad(talk) 06:35, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Once I get back to Yogyakarta. Or, you can schedule it yourself. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks, I think it would be better if you did it :) --Muhammad(talk) 08:04, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
