Oppose while the current FP of Obama still stands; this offers little that the other does not. I would potentially be open to a delist/replace nom, seeing as this one has pride of place, while the other does not. J Milburn (talk) 11:25, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Seems reasonable to me. If this fails then we can consider delisting and replacing. Pine^talk 21:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Info Previous failed noms 1, 2 and 3, and existing FP. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 11:47, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Question I looked for previous noms and didn't see those. How did you find them? Pine^talk 21:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Like this. --Elekhh (talk) 01:01, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose: I think I see some JPG compression artifacts on his shirt and whatnot. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:07, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I am not fan. Compared to the other FP, there is no emotion or pull in the photo. --Guerillero | My Talk 17:48, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Technically good, but not a fan of the composition--the whole left side of his body is cut off. Clegs (talk) 10:42, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This appears to be the standard composition for official Presidential portraits (see G. W. Bush, Clinton, G. H. W. Bush, Reagan). Fallingmasonry (talk) 07:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
