Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Buddhist Monk

Japanese buddhist monk by Arashiyama cut

I took this picture a while back. It's used in the articles Buddhist monasticism, Mendicant, Zen and Kyoto. It's also used in the French Wikipedia to represent buddhism in Portail:Théopédia. Maybe it doesn't have much of a "wow factor" but I think it's a really nice and representative picture of a begging monk. The background looks pretty nice too.

I like this photo for the reasons you've said. Some issues I can notice without really close scrutiny though are the blown highlights on the hat and also in the background, which some people would not like. Another small issue I have is the bit of his robe cut off at the bottom left, and the bit of mat cut off at bottom right. These things could concern some voters. --jjron 09:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like this. There are the blown highlights on the hat and a few other places, but otherwise it's an excellent encyclopedic image. Very clear and descriptive. Spyforthemoon 21:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It shows the culture really well with the detail you can see of his clothes/ surroundings. I love it, get it up there.--JonM 02:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
