Support. After adding some "why should we care" to the caption.TCO (talk) 20:13, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The head is off center and tilted to one side which make the photo kind of odd looking. Also, it looks like there are depth of field issues; apparently he was leaning forward as well as to the side.--RDBury (talk) 23:20, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's one of the reasons I like it. It seems natural, humanized. If the photographer posed him, it certainly doesn't look like it. Support Matthewedwards : Chat 04:23, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He is on stage, leaning across a lectern; the photographer is off-centre. The blurry bit of white you can see just coming in at image right is someone else's head between the photographer and subject. --jjron (talk) 10:29, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That blur is a little bit distracting to me. Does it bother anyone else? Other than that, quite an evocative picture. Not sure whether or not the blur can be cleaned up? —Eustress ^talk 20:34, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Engaged pose and facial expression. Nice colours too. Have no issues with the non-symmetrical composition. --Elekhh (talk) 23:38, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I like the composition; it adds some dynamism, some character. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
