Silverstein in Melbourne

**Original** - Frontman Shane Told of Silverstein goes into the crowd in Melbourne, 27 February 2009, to a fan's delight.

Reason: possibly the best band photograph I've ever taken, slightly cropped from the original for effect. That kid just so makes that shot.

Oppose. Not really suitable as a portrait, as you can't even see his face. Great shot, but not a particularly high encyclopedic value. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per J Milburn. Fletcher (talk) 23:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose too busy/distracting, although it does show him on scene; would have prefered a shot of him straight-on, while performing to prevent all of the extra crowd. The men jerking his trousers down aren't exactly appealing either. Spencer^T♦^C 00:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment my first try at a FP, and I see this is not going to win, but the people "jerking his trousers down" are actually security stopping him from falling into the crowd. I'll try again with another shot.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
