  • Support. Framing not quite ideal (not have enough space on the right side) and it would have been nicer to get a bit more DOF as there's no need to blur the background on a photo like this, but otherwise well taken. Also, not directly related to this nomination, but on the article page, what is with the second photo of him?? It has zero EV as far as I can see. He's unidentifiable, he's doing something irrelevant to his notability, and the image caption (and image page description) mentions nothing of the significance of the image. I'd remove it but I wanted to ask if I was missing something first. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:21, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Re the DOF, unfortunately, this was not taken in a studio. I made him stand before a white wall and just had a simple flash bounced of a very high ceiling. I think the second image shows him doing some rope climbing exercises in a retreat near Nandi Hills, India. I have removed the that image. --Muhammad(talk) 09:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Charismatic portrait. The article could do with a spot of cleaning- a few more decent sources wouldn't go amiss. J Milburn (talk) 09:35, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support- Good snap.Mydreamsparrow (talk) 14:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - As a portrait it is a bit weak on composition, but this is overcome by the good lighting, detail and a wonderful expression. Saffron Blaze (talk) 12:46, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Though it does need a little extra space on the right. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:48, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
