Weak oppose - Don't quite like the lighting. Shadows are poorly positioned. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:22, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. While this is a fine picture, I don't really agree that the lighting is "good" as given in the blurb, and in fact to me the lighting seems the weakest aspect. 86.151.119.149 (talk) 02:24, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I wouldn't describe the lighting as ideal, but I think the photo is quite well-balanced considering its subject is in the shade. Even though the background is brighter, there are no blown-out highlights, and the subject itself falls comfortably in the midtones. Tokugawapants (talk) 04:51, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
