  • I'm really not the person to ask on questions of photo editing; I own a DSLR that I barely know how to use, and have never edited a RAW file. I'm not sure it's possible to correct some of the lighting issues once the photo has been taken though. This is also Sven Manguard 19:55, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Sven. This is a useful photo of a much-respected and greatly missed member of our community, but I'm afraid it simply isn't a FP standard portrait: the lighting and composition aren't great, the background is distracting and there doesn't appear to be any offsetting unique EV.

  • Oppose. Agreed, lighting, pose and depth of field are all sub-par. Objectively speaking, it's not one of our best portraits. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:10, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
