Kikuyu Woman


A striking photograph of a Kĩkũyũ woman in traditional dress. According to a message left on my talk page, this is not often seen in modern-day Kenya, most Kikuyu people wearing Westernized clothes. Image is by wayfaring stranger on Flickr and released under a cc-by-2.0 license.

 * The picture is fascinating, but it's in the shadow... Sorry, but I have to oppose. Circeus 19:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I want to support this image, but technically the quality isn't great (bit unsharp, highlights blown out) and I think it's too cropped (it looks like it's meant to be a portrait of the individual rather than an encyclopedic illustration of the people) and it's a bit small. If it were a fairly unique image those factors could be forgiven but a google image search on kikuyu shows very many images of Kĩkũyũ people in traditional dress - although I admit I haven't noticed any superior to this picture. Does the photographer have a less cropped version, or any other we could consider? Only a relatively minor improvement in any area might justify supporting this for me ~ Veledan • Talk 19:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Support. Quality may be a little behind other FP, but it would be one of the firsts about Africa. --Bernard Helmstetter 20:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Bernard.  GUÐSÞEGN  – UTEX – 21:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Supporto; slightly different shadowing would be ideal, yes, but even without I think this deserves promotion. Mike1024 (t/c) 23:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I will support it on the basis of its rarity, although I would like to see an improved photo myself. TomStar81 08:02, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
