Original – A young Wodaabe maiden judges male contestants in a Gerewol festival, a competitive courtship ritual that takes place annually in Wodaabe communities in Niger.

Reason

This is a beautiful photograph, which meets technical criteria and is a valuable document of a cultural practice, highlighting the often ignored female role in the ritual (most photographs focus on the male contestants and not the judging maidens)

• Interesting, but too small. Yann (talk) 23:03, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

  Inclined to agree, unfortunately. Valued images on Commons might be a better place to recognise its value, but it's not really irreplaceable enough (as in, another photo can be taken) to justify an exception. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.6% of all FPs.} 23:37, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

• Per Yann and Adam, it doesn't meet FP criterion #2, 1500 pixel minimum in height. Bammesk (talk) 15:04, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per above (what Yann, Adam, and Bamesk said). The picture is small and its resolution is even less than 0.5 MB. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 04:02, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
