Noël Coward

 * Reason:High quality picture of a notable playwright (with a featured article at that!) by a notable photographer, at resolution big enough to make a poster out of. As this was a posed shot, I'm fairly certain the flower and glass of (?) are deliberate. Since they just block the sleeve, it's not a big deal in my opinion.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Noël Coward, Allan Warren, Poets' Corner, Binkie Beaumont
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/People/Artists and writers
 * Creator:Allan Warren (User:Allan warren)

 * Support. Glad to see Allan uploading at higher-res, and without the compression as he used to. (Glad to see him uploading at all, of course--his work is invaluable.) Chick Bowen 04:53, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment I might question the colour balance, but it's not atypical of older photographs. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Very strong oppose - please do not promote this until this can be discussed. The original image's colours are these: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/0/08/20110430101425!Noel_Coward_Allan_warren.jpg They were edited, without any obvious reason, at the same time the higher-resolution copy was uploaded. That means that the strange blue-cast skin tones aren't due to fading of 70s filmstock, but are user error caused by the darkest part of the image being on a blue jacket. It's an easy mistake to have happen if you trust autolevels. It's also been cropped a little bit, but I don't mind that. That said, I think that a fix is possible, see Edit 1.
