Support -- Djhé (talk) 06:57, 21 February 2018 (UTC)- Support Nice artistic photo, it has a mood and strength to it that I really like. --cart-Talk 11:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Not really liking the strong pattern noise, which has been emphasised by the processing. The hand is blurred and the aspect-ratio/crop just isn't working for me. If we're going to put up with the compromises that result from shooting a live act (high noise, weird colours from lighting, narrow DoF, etc) then I'd like to see the live act. Here is just a B&W photo of hands holding a guitar, which one could create with any anonymous model in the studio with much more pleasing results. -- Colin (talk) 13:05, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but there is always a je-ne-sais-qoui part/mood to a real live concert photo that is hard to duplicate in a studio shot. --cart-Talk 13:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- I did a Google image search from the file description page and nearly every b&w image returned included the artists's head. Without that, there's no identity and no life to this "live performance". Many of the search results also are more dynamic in pose/action, whereas this is a very classic guitar hold with no apparent movement. The landscape format makes me think the head is cropped off, though it is more likely the camera was just held that way. -- Colin (talk) 13:58, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Mmmh. FWIW, for me it is very apparent that this is a live performance. "[A]ny anonymous model" won't do for this kind of thing, you'll need an actual guitar player for this or it'll look utterly fake. But I see your point regarding the crop – and I think it could possibly help to crop even more on the top and right. Regarding the noise, I wonder how it would look like had it been shot on actual black & white film (something like Delta 3200 pushed a stop or two). I'm still undecided … --El Grafo (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- El Grafo, you're going to tell me now that the models in "Addicted to Love" aren't actual guitar players ;-). Ok, "model" was probably the wrong word, but any modestly able guitar player would do. All I can see here is a white male in a dark t-shirt holding some random guitar. Everything that makes capturing a live performance worthwhile seems to be missing. -- Colin (talk) 15:16, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Colin.--Peulle (talk) 13:37, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Colin -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:44, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Black and noisy -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:15, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose cart makes a strong argument, but in the end I'm going to have to agree with Colin. Daniel Case (talk) 06:25, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
