Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Takbir of prayer.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A Muslim raises his hands to say the takbir to mark the beginning of his prayers. Muslims usually wear white clothes and a cap whilst praying.
Reason
The recent supplicating pilgrim nomination prompted me to nominate this image. Image is of good quality and EV of an unrepresented subject. Lighting is also good.

  • Comments First off, I really dislike the white on white, but there is nothing we can do about that, as places of worship usually don't paint their walls vibrant colors. What worries me is that there is no personality rights tag on the image, there is something purple on the hands, and the lower half of his body is cut out. Is he standing, kneeling, what? I want to hear your resonses before I vote. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 18:58, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The lighting control is such that a smooth gray background is achieved so IMO not much of a problem. You're quite right about the dull colours in places of worship though so not much that can be done there. Personality tag can be added by anybody, I will do it now. FWIW, I have the model permission as this was originally taken for a commercial purpose. --Muhammad(talk) 19:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, a lot of links on the picute page, including your name, are broken. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 19:00, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Broken links are a fault with wikis servers probably. --Muhammad(talk) 19:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
