 * Oppose. Article support.  Very important topic and in several articles.  Have that nailed.  But I really don't see how it illustrates hunting or foraging.  Seems like it illustrates the guy smiling and maybe we can see a part of his body type.  But even just for some sort of human anatomy "what this tribe looks like" we lack enough perspective or scale or amount of him to really see his size or physique.  And I don't see how he's hunting. P.s.  Sorry (and I oppose a lot, please don't take as discouraging.)TCO (reviews needed)  01:24, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * None taken, valid points. I am not nominating this as a hunting or gahering photo, but as a photo of a San physique. It is by far the best picture available in this category, explaining its use in several top-priority articles. --hydrox (talk) 01:35, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably more of a cross country runner than sumo wrestler, no? ;)TCO (reviews needed)  01:44, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems to me that this photo would have a stronger claim to FP if the photo showed the subject from head to toe including garments, footwear, and accessories.  Pine (GreenPine)  t 08:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Does not seem to be an issue with many of the previous images. Obviously his upper body is exposed. He is probably wearing something like this over his crotch. (Khomani San, Kalahari, October 2009) --hydrox (talk) 20:56, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well the caption says "traditional dress" but all we see is a necklace and a bare chest. I don't think the pic is even explaining what the caption says. I like that linked pic much better at doing what your caption says.TCO (reviews needed)  16:44, 21 July 2011 (UTC) (late sig)
 * Person who made the comment above, please identify yourself, although I agree with you.  Pine (GreenPine)  t 09:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose after considering discussion above and a discussion that I had with J Milburn on a different photo awhile back. I think that there are photos that could do a better job for this subject.  Pine (GreenPine)  t 09:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
