 * Reason:Stumbled across this image today and found it very engaging. A genuinely globally notable figure – whatever you make of the Gaia hypothesis, etc – in a very natural and warm portrait. IMO technicals are good enough.

 * Weak oppose. Sorry, but our standards for portraits is quite high. I can understand all the plants around him that would normally be considered clutter (but here presents him in nature); however, the flash in the glasses is distracting. Sharpness is OK, not bad for a compact. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 04:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose per King of Hearts + the statue is distracting . Tomer T (talk) 05:41, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The statue is evidently Gaia, which, um, is kinda there for a reason methinks. --jjron (talk) 06:53, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right. I changed my comment. Tomer T (talk) 09:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Though this is technically imperfect, it fits the man well. Cowtowner (talk) 03:36, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- it's nice to see something different, but ultimately the flash reflections in his glasses and the lack of sharpness of the subject lead me to oppose this. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 21:27, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
