~~This image is too small. The nomination should be withdrawn unless a larger version can be uploaded.--ragesoss 21:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)~~[reply]

- And for that reason I oppose; I don't think that even under a higher resolution I'd be entirely satisfied. -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 22:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A request has been made for an image with a higher resolution to the author. It will be placed shortly. Nikkul 22:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, it's a nice picture but there are many higher resolution more centered pictures of Indians. Although Meanest Indian has been changing her licenses to CC-BY-ND-ND :O Some are still CC-BY --gren グレン 00:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This image with a higher resolution is now available on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Indiadem.jpg If someone could please make this image the same (greater) resolution, that would be great. I have no idea how to do that. Thanks so much. Nikkul 15:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Motion blurr. Witty Lama 15:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Thanks for taking the time to request a higher-res pic Nikkul. It's a very nice pic. However, the motion blur does ruin it and it's not as sharp or clear as I would like it to be. Sorry. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 06:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Saree is the most common dress of South Indian women and not the one shown above. The image shown above doesn't look like a saree. It looks more like a dress worn by Rajasthani women.--(Sumanth|Talk) 09:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I second what Sumanthk said. The image does not show the dress of a typical south Indian woman (which is anyways too varied to categorise like that).--Seraphiel 10:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To cite an example, Image:Kerala-girl-left.jpg is how south indian women dress.--Seraphiel 16:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It does look like a sari to me.. but draped the Rajasthani way. And btw.. this is not a pic of a south indian woman.. definitely not dressed like one. This may be a very good addition to Rajasthan, but has nothing to do with South India! Its a good pic btw. I am only wondering what the 'motion blur' oppose is about... will defer voting till I figure that out. Sarvagnya 09:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Sorry to say but the image is grainy in some sorts and resolution could be better... Booksworm ^{Talk to me!} 20:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
