•  Oppose Nothing appealing about this. Photos of people in a panel with a mic in front of them are rarely appealing. Look at the other photos in the FP group. Not in the same league. -- Colin (talk) 16:40, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Colin. A good, but straightforward pic with nothing really breathtaking about it, in other words: no wow. FPC is not about good pictures, not even flawless ones, it’s about extraordinary, outstanding images. --Kreuzschnabel 17:27, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Colin. Daniel Case (talk) 22:52, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Colin. -- Karelj (talk) 11:38, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I'd turn the above argument around and say: For a portrait taken at some kind of panel, this is really good. It has decent lighting and a nice clean background. The mike I find very appropriate for a modern-day poet as long as it's not covering anything important. The only thing I don't quite like is the uneven stage make-up, but it makes sense for a "people at work" kind of shot. Looking at the bigger picture, this does indeed stand out among previously featured portraits, most of which are somewhat stiff and traditional-looking. This one follows a more modern approach with an intimate and dynamic composition that is not afraid to cut off the top of the head (how dare you! we don't do that here at Commons!) and has loads of negative space/lead room. --El Grafo (talk) 07:26, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support as per El Grafo's convincing analysis. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per El Grafo --Lupe (talk) 20:52, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose [Later edit: I think the composition and cropping are ok, but the photo isn't impeccable from the technical point of view: with the shallow depth of field and high ISO count even the parts that are in focus have a somewhat soft appearance. I don't feel this is one of the best portraits on commons.] --Micha (talk) 08:06, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

comment missing on oppose vote

Question What do we do? Micha, you need to give a reason for opposing; otherwise, your vote should be invalidated, thereby causing this nomination to pass. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:46, 11 June 2022 (UTC) Negative votes with no reason are not very constructive and fortunately extremely rare. The guidelines say "Explain your reasoning, especially when opposing a candidate" and "Unhelpful reasons for opposing include: No reason". Did this user found unnecessary to repeat "per Colin" like the three others above? It's a shame this vote occurs only 12 hours before the end of the voting period. Still I think in the past we used to validate such controversial scores, like here for example -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC)  Comment My feeling is that we can wait a day or two for Micha to give a reason. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:13, 12 June 2022 (UTC) That would be fair, provided that the notifications are activated -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:40, 12 June 2022 (UTC) [OK] Resolved. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:00, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
