David Schwimmer[edit]

Original - David Schwimmer in 2005 at London premier of Madagascar
Alt 1 - Cropped with more lead room and cloned away the tiny tip of the offending finger that remained.
Source Image - Thought I'd also display the "original" image from flickr unmodified.
Alt 2 - Just for giggles, I used Photoshop to greatly blur the background...

Alt 3 - Cropped a bit more.
Reason
This is a pretty sharp and clear picture that has lots of EV for the individual

  • Strong Oppose Original Horrible crop and small. Given that the original is huge and decently composed, there is no reason this small badly cropped image should be used. — raekyT 03:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am not sure I agree that the crop is so bad. I believe you have to crop it right of the finger. I agree the original size should be used. I am going to upload a better size with my interpretation of a good crop.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:28, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

        • File:David Schwimmer Jul 2005 London, England.jpg theres the original, personally I feel an image shot of someones profile like this needs a fairly big lead room, and yes the finger is distracting, and it was taken when he was talking apparently so not the best facial expression, but it just looks exceedingly odd to my eyes when you chop away all the lead room. My brain wants to see something to the left of his face. — raekyT 03:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Support Alt 1 I added a compromise alt, I cropped it some, and the tiny tip of the distracting finger I cloned away. Still has the paper that is also somewhat distracting, but it has more lead room. — raekyT 03:51, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't like any of these, that bald guy is right behind him in all three versions and you can't get rid of him, though I marginally support the original more because it looks framed a little better, would've been nicer centered toward the left without the excessive nose room of alt 1 - oppose all three. --I'ḏOne 04:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I added another alt with the background so blurred you can't see people anymore... — raekyT 12:50, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Better, but I cropped it a bit more with his ear dividing roughly 1/3 the photo. Some would say the background in all is drab, but I don't mind it. --I'ḏOne 12:40, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
