Original – A male and female pair of Himba herders in Namibia's Northwestern Kunene region. The woman wears otjize that colors her skin red.

Reason

High-quality (3,000 x 2,000), beautifully composed, amazing colors (showing the otjize worn by the woman). Shows a member of each sex, with faces visible. As an illustration of Himba dress, appearance, and lifestyle (these two are herders), it adds great encyclopedic value.

• Support as nominator – Zanahary (talk) 06:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose Poor technical quality, over-saturated colours. Surprised that the printed butterflies are claimed to be traditional dress. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
• Comment – At full size the details aren't sharp, especially the woman (who is out of focus). Otherwise I would have supported. Good EV and excellent composition though. Bammesk (talk) 01:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
