Reason: I thought this one deserved a second chance. A high-quality photograph of a fairly well-known academic. To pre-empt the claim that this is just a simple posed photograph: short of that pose, this is about as close as we are going to get to an "action shot" of a philosopher- the use of the watch and the stain-glass background are very much deliberate.

Oppose, still artificial facial expression with distrcting background. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 04:24, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – An "Official Press Release Photo" from a press kit assembled to promote a book. The pose, composition and subject's expression are stilted and unnatural – comprising a PR effort that is mediocre at best, IMO. Negligible EV. Sca (talk) 13:19, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Clichéd pose; no personality. 86.152.162.108 (talk) 14:22, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Phoniest smile I ever saw... almost repulsive. --Janke | Talk 12:09, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Poor Craig... I guess the situation is hopeless. This looks a bit better, but no good as a FP. Hafspajen (talk) 12:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
