  • Support as nominator --JJARichardson (talk) 17:48, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Rather grainy and bad composition: Jackie's head obstructs a good portion of John's face, that in combination with his dark glasses renders him almost unrecognizable. In addition, Jackie's navy-blue dress and John's also navy-blue sweater blend almost seamlessly thus making Jackie look as if she has grown a hand out of her back. This is just a retro-looking celebrity snapshot. --Ebertakis (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, sorry. I like the idea, with the background resembling a nineteenth-century oil painting of a naval battle. But the actual photo is problematic, as noted above, with a partially obscured face and a bothersome piece of plywood with a map on it in front of Mrs. Kennedy.
