George W. Bush arrives in Uganda

President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush arrive in Entebbe, Uganda Friday, July 11, 2003.

The value of this photograph is in its recontextualising a commonly viewed image: Bush greeting crowds with a wave. The three children waiting to greet the president are thrust into the foreground, but we can still make out the figure of GWB at the top of the steps performing a characteristic wave. The viewer is forced to consider common elements of such occasions such as security guards and children with flowers, which are usually marginal to photojournalism.

The picture appears here and is public domain as a work of the Executive Office of the President of the US.

- I can't find anything higher than this 514x342 shot, unless there is a standard procedure for getting hold of high-res copies of images taken by the White House? TreveX^talk 15:30, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The President and Mrs. Bush are a little blurry and too far away. I also don't think it does anything particularly important for the article Foreign relations of Uganda, which is an important aspect of FP's. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:18, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. A good picture, but it doesn't add significantly to a Wikipedia article. It would be better to submit it as a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons. Burn the asylum 09:19, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. You can't see Bush, and the image is too small. --62.255.32.12 16:52, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's hard to see the president and first lady since they're blurry and in the background also doesn't add a lot to the article. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 04:47, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose, nice composition, but the flowers distract from the actual focus of the picture and Bush is too far away to be easily recognized. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:18, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Support -- It's not about Bush - it's about the Office of the President and the huge (and recognizable) Air Force One that he(/she) travels in - this could be any US President and that is part of the magic of this image. (Nice composition, too!) Leonard G. 02:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. It's too small, and if I didn't know it was Bush beforehand, I wouldn't have a way of figuring it out just by looking at the image. Tito xd 07:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support: excellent juxtaposition of the Ugandan children against the massive form of Air Force One. Jdhowens90 09:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
