- I moved this from the bottom to the top of the FPC page (note instructions). This is rather smaller than our stated minimum (see Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria), and the highlights are a little overexposed. Unless its encyclopedic value is really extraordinary, those shortcomings will be tough to overcome; it probably doesn't have a great chance here. Chick Bowen 00:04, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. Sorry, but far below our technical requirements, and IMO not a particularly good picture regardless. Given that it is not even used in the two individuals' own articles I can't see that it has such enormous EV to overcome the obvious shortcomings. --jjron (talk) 05:38, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose, sorry, I have to agree. It would really have to be something special to pass FPC when it is that small. J Milburn (talk) 18:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, I have to agree with the others. It's too small to qualify. – SMasters (talk) 08:35, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
