Official portrait of Pres. Barack Obama
Voting period ends on 20 Jan 2012 at 08:10:33 (UTC)
 * Reason:Photo has high encyclopedic value, is currently the lead image in high profile articles President of the United States and Barack Obama, and is a clear large image. This photo's nomination for Featured Picture is NOT about Barack Obama's performance as president. This nomination is about the encyclopedic value and quality of the photo.
 * Articles in which this image appears:President of the United States, Barack Obama, Time Person of the Year, and others
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/People/Political
 * Creator:Pete Souza


 * Support as nominator --Pinetalk 08:10, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose while the current FP of Obama still stands; this offers little that the other does not. I would potentially be open to a delist/replace nom, seeing as this one has pride of place, while the other does not. J Milburn (talk) 11:25, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems reasonable to me. If this fails then we can consider delisting and replacing. Pinetalk 21:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Info Previous failed noms 1, 2 and 3, and existing FP. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 11:47, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Question I looked for previous noms and didn't see those. How did you find them? Pinetalk 21:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Like this. --Elekhh (talk) 01:01, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose: I think I see some JPG compression artifacts on his shirt and whatnot. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:07, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose I am not fan. Compared to the other FP, there is no emotion or pull in the photo. --Guerillero &#124;  My Talk  17:48, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Technically good, but not a fan of the composition--the whole left side of his body is cut off. Clegs (talk) 10:42, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This appears to be the standard composition for official Presidential portraits (see G. W. Bush, Clinton, G. H. W. Bush, Reagan). Fallingmasonry (talk) 07:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
