Oppose The photographer has done well to get the eyes in focus considering the very narrow DoF. But why so narrow that the nose and ears are out of focus? Because the background is distracting. Better to have posed the subject in a more suitable location. Also, am curious/concerned about provenance of high-resolution copy that didn't come from original uploader (who claims to be "own work"). Colin°^Talk 22:26, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

gstaff looks to be a Bethesda employee[1]. It's pretty likely he is the original author. The second upload is confusing, though. Perhaps the author accidentally uploaded a downscaled version where they also have a higher resolution available. Explosive Hammer (talk) 00:21, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Poor crop, poor background, poor lighting, no proof that high-rez version is even legally released under CC license. How does this user even know about FPC? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 05:49, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've asked the uploader of the hi-res version to explain the source/permission issue. Colin°^Talk 12:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
