Support One of the best I've seen in a while. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:51, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Funny, but my feelings are quite different. I really don't see anything special about this picture. To me it seems a competent but fairly ordinary snapshot (albeit with a good camera). The composition not great, lighting not the best, etc. Of course, a very useful addition to the article nonetheless. 86.151.118.91 (talk) 03:58, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For me, the composition draws the eye to the subject, rather than to something in the background- quite difficult, given the busyness of the area in which he's stood. If it was adjusted, it may end up looking like one of those holiday snaps in which someone has their photo taken with something. J Milburn (talk) 11:39, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose :- I don't think this is a very special one. Shadows, background and even composition, I don't this this is reaching the FP standards. Bellus Delphina ^talk 04:18, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
