Support as nominator --Sir Richardson (talk) 20:45, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, absolutely. A highly significant person, irreplaceable as he is now dead, and a great portrait. Our only shot of him; something we are very lucky to have. There are a few imperfections, but, honestly, I don't care. This is the kind of thing of which I would love to see more here. J Milburn (talk) 20:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Enoch Powell 4 Allan Warren.jpg, not our only shot --Muhammad(talk) 00:45, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Request Nice photo, but there's some blurring on the face, so I prefer Enoch Powell 4 Allan Warren.jpg. If the nom is willing to put this up as an alt and put it in an appropriate place in the article, I'm more likley to support the alt. Pine^talk 09:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's hardly a fair statement. That currently nominated version displays more blur on the face is perfectly acceptable given the larger size. This, to me, clearly is a more detailed presentation of the subject. Cowtowner (talk) 08:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm not opposing to this photo, but I like the other one better. Pine^talk 08:01, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I support whichever one is the lead image of the main article. The EV is far lower in the article on the speech. J Milburn (talk) 11:54, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I have tried to get Warren's work featured here before and have been disappointed with the reactions (I mean, there have been successful nominations, but not the ones I nominated). He is an excellent photographer and, as Milburn says, has frequently provided the sole free image for very important subjects. Chick Bowen 22:21, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This image is a mirror image of the one on his web site. JBarta (talk) 00:09, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- True, but the one here must be correct. A pocket square is generally worn on the left (where the pocket is!). Chick Bowen 00:39, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not to mention the fact that Powell parted his hair on his left. J Milburn (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There seems to be a black hair on his forehead. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose: Come to think of it, I prefer Enoch Powell 4. Crisper lines, less lint or whatever. The pose in the nomination is better, but it needs some cleaning (down-sampling, removal of extraneous hairs and whatever). Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:10, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have added Enoch Powell 4 as an alt. Sir Richardson (talk) 16:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support alt thank you user:Sir Richardson. Pine^talk 07:54, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support alt: As I've noted, I prefer the pose in the original but it needs some major touch ups. The alt is already good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Milburn. Cowtowner (talk) 08:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A striking portrait. Good EV. Kaldari (talk) 03:33, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More input needed - Which one is preferred? Also, please comment on the EV factor: the original is the lead image of a well-developed article. It would be difficult to promote the alt under the guise of EV, as it is only used at Rivers of Blood speech. Jujutacular ^talk 19:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the ALT, but I would accept the original. It could use a little cleaning-up, though. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:22, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My support is for the original only, as it is the one used in the lead of the main article. Because of its usages, the other does not have the EV. J Milburn (talk) 10:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer the alt but I don't have a major objection to the original. Pine^talk 07:54, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
