Oppose, sorry. It's a bit ordinary, doesn't strike me as a particularly brilliant portrait. J Milburn (talk) 00:46, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This image and this one are of the same nature and both are featured. Spongie555 (talk) 04:24, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Granted, but I would honestly say those two are stronger. Both have slightly better compositions; they both draw you into the image, and say something about the subject. Frelinghuysen just looks bored. I also note that the DOF is stronger on both of them. I agree that, in practice, portrait FPs are a little odd, but I don't think this one has the umph.

He looks more serious then bored. Also probably beacause he had to sit still for a long time to pose he would look bored because I know I would(last part personal opinion). Spongie555 (talk) 02:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose. I like the portrait, but unfortunately the low DOF removes much of the the thumbnail detail. NauticaShad es 17:31, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
