 * Support Pic looks good. I've asked for a Commonser to do the Flikr review.TCO (talk) 02:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. It's not super big and the article's not very well developed, and I'd also like to see a little more headroom. However, I do like the photo, and, as said above, this is an underrepresented topic at FPC. J Milburn (talk) 16:08, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Agreed with J Milburn. I uploaded a taller crop over the original. I know technically we're not supposed to do this but it seems really fussy to add a separate Alt/edit for a wider crop. Also, my crop retains the EXIF information which I was worried about at first since I wasn't sure about the copyright status of the image. Apparently the copyright is owned by ITU and they released it on their official Flickr account as CC BY; the photographer is credited in the metadata, but it's ITU's copyright. Good enough for me. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 17:12, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Those lips! Those eyes! And ordinarily I'd call for a crop, but in this case I think seeing his vestments adds to the EV. Daniel Case (talk) 18:14, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Per J Milburn. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 17:13, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
