 * Reason:Forgive me if I'm off-base with this nomination (it's my first time here), but I found this image on Flickr and find it both visually striking and leaving me wanting to know more about the subject, on top of the fact that I'm already interested as the page in question is my next FL nomination.
 * Articles in which this image appears:The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour
 * FP category for this image:Either Featured pictures/Culture, entertainment, and lifestyle/Entertainment or Featured pictures/People/Entertainment

 * Oppose. At 1024 pixels wide, this image squeaks past the minimum technical requirement for a featured picture, but at that size we would have to ask for the main subject – Conan – to be sharp, and he just isn't. The digital display behind Conan introduces a distracting moiré pattern.  The lighting on Conan is also doing something weird to his skin tone.  TenOfAllTrades(talk) 01:15, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Poor lighting, out of focus, distracting background, odd composition and technical quality. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:09, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Poor frame and poor lighting.Alborzagros (talk) 06:57, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above, but come back here and try again. Take a look at the current Featured Pictures to see what we like. :) Pinetalk 08:30, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Wish I could... Visually interesting, but like some of the others have said, it's too blurry and a little on the small side. Keep trying, though :-) Clegs (talk) 14:37, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh well. I'm no expert on picture quality, but I'd like to learn. I have another in mind I'll nominate soon. Since this is a unanimous oppose, no need to keep it open until the 8th. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
