It brings balanced view of the man, and also shows some of his character. Love the lighting, and arm in the foreground. If needed, bigger photo may be uploaded.

• Comment There's no source listed on the image description page, did you take this photograph? Jujutacular ^T · C 00:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

• But i did, you have all of that on commons page. ([1]) --Tadija (talk)

• I see now, thanks. I was looking at the version that was still on Wikipedia. Jujutacular ^T · C 14:57, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

• Comment: Is there a particular reason this is in greyscale? Yeah, it's very arty, but it's not generally that encyclopedic... J Milburn (talk) 01:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

• Well no, it was just wished like that. I have similar photos in color, this one is only grayscale. --Tadija (talk)

• Is there a reason you consider the greyscale more encyclopedic than the colour? J Milburn (talk) 14:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

• No, J Milburn, really, nothing special, just it could be interesting as person is actor, so it can be encyclopedic per man's occupation. I will never add portrait of some politician or scientist in grayscale. But this is ok. Also, i hope that this is not problem for nomination? :) :)

• Oppose. The hand is just too large and dominant, taking up most of the foreground and being larger than the face. A little bit of hand would be fine - I've seen plenty of portraits where hands or other body parts add expression - but too much hand is problematic.

• Support I like this shot, it strikes me as technically good and it is nicely dynamic. Sabine's Sunbird talk 01:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
• Support The picture is original and looks just great. FkpCascais (talk) 04:56, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose Colour is more encyclopaedic and I'm not a fan of the perspective effect for article illustration. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:36, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose Hand is ginormous and distracting. Calliopejen1 (talk) 05:31, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
