Wikipedia:Picture peer review/William Gibson 60th birthday portrait

Professional photograph, of a high technical standard and resolution, depicting a very notable encyclopaedic subject.

OK, since no one else will comment... I find these hard to judge - it's a pretty reasonably photo, but personally I prefer colour for Encyclopaedic value, however some recent successful noms have been along the lines of this. I also feel it could do with a bit of a crop at left. OK, beyond that, some concerns that could come up is that it is a bit noisy (covered up a bit by it being in B&W) and possibly with some minor jpeg artifacting, and the focus is not quite right (if you look closely it's a fairly narrow plane of focus, and the focus is at about his ears, rather than where it should be at his eyes). But famous people shots like this tend to get a bit of an easier run at FPC than many other images so that would work in its favour. Perhaps worth a try. --jjron (talk) 09:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
