Usher speech


stumbled across this at Flickr. Has a high resolution and seems to be of technical high quality. I do not know much about the finer details of imagery, so any comments would be appreciated. Does this have a chance at FPC?

 * Comments:
 * Sorry, it's a perfectly okay photo, but nowhere near FP quality IMO. It's cropped too tightly at the sides, the pose is ordinary, there's a lot of noise and I don't care for the shadow and glare from the flash. Given he's wearing sunglasses inside, I assume they're part of his public persona, but they might be unpopular at FPC too. Comparing Featured pictures/People/Entertainment with some failed nominations of celebrity photos in 2010 gives an idea of the standard needed. --Avenue (talk) 13:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Seconder:
 * The shadow from the flash kills the pic for me. I would have flagged this as discard on that point alone if I took it.
