 * Support as nominator --Pine✉ 08:09, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I would love it if we had more occupational portraits, but I do think they should show the worker's face; this one is a portrait of a computer screen, which actually doesn't illustrate software engineering very well, since that is something done by people. File:HH Polizeihauptmeister MZ.jpg and File:Arborists-3,-Kallista,-VIC,-09.07.2008.jpg are both good models for this kind of picture, particularly the arborist one, which is a favorite of mine.

 * strong oppose First the framing is too tight for me. I'm rather concerned to see this picture as infobox image of articles such as Scrum (development) because it doesn't not illustrate this agile method (nor it illustrates Agile software development). It shows an OOF developper with it's two screens, a wiki (what he is working on) and a JS editor. --PierreSelim (talk) 12:39, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support The worker's face is totally unimportant. It is what he does which matters. Software engineers mostly sit in front of a computer and work on the source of computer programs. So that sense this photo is quite representative in my view. JJ Harrison (talk) 03:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This is an unremarkable photo without any inherent message. The cropping is too tight and the back of the individual occupies too much space.  I would agree with JJ Harrison if the shot was back perhaps 10 feet.  While the image may very well depict software engineering, it does add to the knowledge of the viewer.

 * Oppose per above. Framing is too tight. Jujutacular (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Ludwig. I really wonder what about this image led someone to nominate here. Daniel Case (talk) 04:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
