Sir Alex Ferguson edit

Original – Sir Alex in Old trafford.

Reason: Sir Alex Ferguson is the longest serving manager of Manchester United and one of the best managers of all time in the history of Football. As he declared his retirement today so we will not see him anymore in Theatre of Dreams, there might not be any more pic of him in Old_Trafford. Hence I nominate the leading picture from his name's article as a featured picture candidate.
Articles in which this image appears: Alex_Ferguson, Manchester United F.C.

Weak oppose Strange framing, lot of headroom, he seems kind of underexposed, and the image doesn't fare much better when cropped (at least when I tried it)—it's his position and angle in the frame, with his head is to the right of his body; unfortunately, the image isn't all that large to start messing around with cropping. I would also maybe remove the distracting out-of-focus foreground object (someone's head?). – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 00:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. I agree- the foreground object is a little distracting. Sir Alex's face also seems very underexposed. Maybe some Photoshop magic can resolve these issues. But until then...Razum2010 (talk) 04:57, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As he will become Director, as well as Ambasador for the club, he will continue to be involved in the day to day life of OT and Man Utd, just not first team affairs, ergo there will be plenty of pictures of him at OT for many years to come, just maybe not walking on the pitch... Just saying... gazhiley 07:41, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree he will continue with Manutd but personally I will always prefer a pic collected from a live match over any other picture. When I nominated the pic, I noticed about the left side of his face but I thought the EV of this pic supersede this. Godhulii 1985 (talk) 20:50, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Same concerns as above, underexposed. Too bad. Arctic Kangaroo 16:08, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Mediran (t • c) 03:26, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. He's not dead, plenty of time still for another photo. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 19:33, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Not in live match. Just another photo can not be as precious as a pic from live match. Godhulii 1985 (talk) 22:23, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
