 * Comment I like most of this, but what on earth happened to the background? It's very posterised. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 22:47, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the original is here, but I think is a better choice as a lead image for this subject . MER-C 18:21, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Really? I always favour photographs over sketches like that, where possible. Too much idealisation/simplification. I don't mind paintings as much,especially contemporary ones, as they give details like hair colour that aren't in photos. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 18:49, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I had missed that aspect; I was focusing on the background content. However, I agree with your observation about the background of the nominated image. Also, the tie has been butchered by blocky artifacts. MER-C 21:02, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
