Orson Welles

A picture of director Orson Welles on the set of his most famous film, Citizen Kane. The picture illustrates both articles beautifully, and is striking both in thumbnail and full-resolution form. There is some grain in the large picture; someone with better Photoshop skills than me might want to clean it up a little.

Strong oppose. Improper copyright information. The site this is from does not have the legal authority to release copyright to such images as far as I can tell—"We've scanned 8 x 10 glossy movie stills and publicity photos, and the resulting full-size pictures are presented for your viewing and downloading pleasure—all free." This implies that the images are all still copyrighted, and the fact that they have been scanned by someone onto the internet does not constitute a release of rights. The image could qualify under fair use, but it would not then be eligible as a featured picture. —Cuivi é nen (talk•contribs), Thursday, 11 May 2006 @ 02:27 UTC
