Fire Breathing

[edit]
Fire Breathing
Fire Breathing02 - retouched

Another image by Lightmatter, especially effective at illustrating the topic I think.

  • Support. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 09:48, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Not bad, but the arm on the left and the photographer distract a bit. Also, i think the image would be better from the front Support the picture after the magic touch of Solipsist. Great retouching! -- Chris 73 Talk 12:40, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment -- Nice enough to try a retouched version. -- Solipsist 18:44, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Nice work! Although I'm in doubt which version I like best now, I agree with Matthewcieplak that firebreathing kinda needs a crowd, mmmm, can't you paint Evil Bert or Jar Jar in there? -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 08:43, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Actually there is still a crowd there in the shadows. I could put the lady on the right back in, but she has her back turned, or I might be able to put the less obvious, lefthand photographer back in. -- Solipsist 10:07, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The picture has a snapshot quality and is not special enough to compensate for that. Janderk 22:17, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. The retouched version is much better. [[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]] 04:02, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support original version - firebreathing is not something you do without people watching. Or maybe it is, but we don't see them doing it. Matthewcieplak 06:16, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • No you are right, once you've had your lungs converted for fire-breathing, you have to breath it all the time. Normally this is disguised by chain smoking. But sometimes, particularly when you have a chest infection, you just have to go outside and let one rip.... :) -- Solipsist 10:07, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. As Janderk said, snapshot quality. I've seen much better fire breathing/juggling/poi photography. ed g2s • talk 02:18, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support retouched version. Andre (talk) 22:19, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Definite support (of retouched version). JOHN COLLISON [ Ludraman] 22:34, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support (retouched) - but couldn't you have just removed the arm and left the onlookers?--ZayZayEM 09:41, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 00:20, 06 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 14:03, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose Both. The arm is too much of a distraction and I am not a fan of retouched photos in an encyclopedia. Lorax 00:59, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • No real consensus for either of the images, NOT promoted, +7/-4. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 08:10, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
