- Support - As an official photo is not very special and doesn't reveal much about the person, other than official appearance. The fact that is the first time that an official presidential portrait was taken with a digital camera makes it neverthless somewhat special. Importantly, it is used in 220+ articles, so it seems to be much valued. It had broad support even as FP nomination in January however there was no consensus.

Promoted File:Official portrait of Barack Obama.jpg --Makeemlighter (talk) 20:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Reason
- I'm completely new to Valued Pictures, so forgive me if I'm not doing this right, or if this picture isn't the type of thing we're looking for. I'm not an excellent photographer, but I think this image is of encyclopedic value to the apl.de.ap page, and is a rather unique image of this subject in mid-performance. I was right at the front row and was able to get very close.

- Oppose Doesn't fully meet the criteria as a "valued picture". Its just not educational.Tim1337 (talk) 08:19, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Educational? This is the leading image of an article. franklin 20:53, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think it adds significant value to the article. His face is partially obstructed. sorry for the misunderstanding Tim1337 (talk) 22:31, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose, not the best angle, and obstructed face. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 19:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose - per the above editors... I'm sorry, but with the low angle, and his face obscured, it lacks EV... - Adolphus79 (talk) 03:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
