Original – Rudolf Brazda, last surviving gay prisoner of Nazi Germany.

Reason: First of all, this nomination is biased, this is the LGBT month and since I'm part of the community I needed to find a picture which seemed fine for FPC standards and I found this image of last surviving gay prisoner of Nazi Germany nice and tender.

Oppose I understand the sentiment, but this is just a snapshot. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:38, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree but profusely respect your position. --LLcentury (talk) 10:58, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support, although I see Charles' point. I think the EV makes up for a average photo. He died in 2011, so the situation, especially as regards copyright, is now fixed in place for a fairly long while. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.7% of all FPs} 11:13, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Charlesjsharp, and also on technical grounds; overexposed, severely blown highlights. --Janke | Talk 12:25, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - blown highlights. MER-C 16:42, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification - @MER-C: what exactly is "blown highlights"?, I am not questioning it, I don't understand the concept in English, I speak Spanish. So to look carefully at "blown highlights" in potential future candidates. Kindest regards! --LLcentury (talk) 19:42, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Areas of the image which have a color value of (255, 255, 255). See Clipping (photography). MER-C 19:50, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Blown highlights" means that the lighter parts of the photo are overexposed - in this case, the pink shirt has turned white, with no details in the lighter parts. --Janke | Talk 19:51, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per summary of problems given by Charles and Janke. Geoffroi (talk) 04:37, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Blown highlights are quite distracting, making the picture seem unencyclopedic. Mattximus (talk) 21:25, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This just looks like a random family snapshot to me. I recognize the EV and likely unreplaceability but there needs to be some threshold for quality of the pictures themselves. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:46, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I missed the blown highlights, it sort of blends in with the bright shirt. There are better compositions of him in google search results, I doubt any of them have the license or the resolution. Bammesk (talk) 03:19, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
