Original

Reason: Seeing the outdoor pic of Edwards promoted earlier, I had to find a better famous-person photo. The Edwards shot was outdoors in harsh lighting, he has shadows all over him, he's not centered in the image, his mouth is awkwardly open, the background is disgustingly blurry wasted space, and a microphone is covering his face. I saw a comment that we desperately need more pictures of famous people, so I figured a high profile person like the president would have a quality portrait, and I was right! The president's very high resolution, centered, traditional portrait shot isn't featured. I was shocked when I noticed. If you think it's too grainy maybe someone can downsample it a bit. Remember, this isn't politics people, it's about the image. Hope the FP cabal isn't anti-republican (probably are with all your exotic pornographic fetishes D:).. just kidding! Please don't WP:SNOWBALL me into oblivion!

Neutral; I take no sides when it comes to issues regarding Mr. Bush, and that includes this image. Yes, it is a very nice shot, no doubts about that, and it is large enough to qualify, but image quality is just terrible. If Fir was here, he might be able to do something about it. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 04:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
This picture was unsuccessfully nominated earlier this month. It actually closed barely a week ago. Raven4x4x 04:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
