Neil Gaiman
Voting period ends on 10 Jan 2015  at 10:29:28 (UTC)
 * Reason:An excellent photograph of one of the most important living English authors- I've no doubt that there are going to be a number of Gaiman's fans among the FPC regulars who will be as excited as me to see this here. (If this counts for anything, Mr. Gaiman specifically contacted Kyle Cassidy, the photographer, because he was unhappy with the previous portrait on his article.)
 * Articles in which this image appears:Neil Gaiman (though I am sure it will filter into others).
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/People/Artists and writers
 * Creator:Kyle Cassidy

 * Comment Though it's interesting that Mr. Gaiman contacted Mr. Cassidy to have a portrait done, what matters for a Wikipedia Featured Photo is the quality and suitability of the photo (which is why I supported this nomination below). — Lentower (talk) 16:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Support - Very useful. I'd have probably reduced the highlights a little bit (at full size they seem a bit overly bright) but then again I'm not getting paid to take portraits. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:39, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Support - Good photograph, that shows the subject as a person in real life at night with a city as background, as well as being strong technically. — Lentower (talk) 06:33, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - Two great things that go great together: Neil Gaiman and Kyle Cassidy. I love Kyle's portraits and this is just one of many outstanding photographs of Mr Gaiman he has produced throughout the years. — MaryHerself (talk) 21:51, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Support This is another great portrait by a photographer who has a history of giving great portraits to Wikimedia Commons.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  20:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
