A British pensioner

I found this striking. Illustrates Ageing nicely. - Zeimusu | (Talk page) 09:54, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • I found this not striking. Oppose. Jonas Olson 14:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Also too low resolution. Jonas Olson 15:00, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • support.- A very expressive photo indeed! --SFoskett 14:34, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • support a nice picture that does add significantly. Circeus 00:39, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Nothing striking here. If we say that a picture like this is featured pic quality because it adds nicely to ageing, then we'll have all the 12-year-olds around here posting their school photos up saying it adds nicely to youth. Enochlau 13:59, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose, it's just another portrait. If you're trying to add to the ageing article, isn't it better to have a series of photos of someone at a different age? Mgm|(talk) 16:01, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
    • Fine idea! Now look if there are suitable pictures of those older relatives of your's. I don't think you should hesitate at the possible event that someone else has a better photo series, we could sure use several of them. I think articles often have too few images, even when suitable pictures already are uploaded. Why, for example isn't the crashing Concorde present in the article Accidents_and_incidents_in_aviation? Now let's all help to include more images in articles, don't you think? Jonas Olson 16:40, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose. Nice portrait, but I am not quite won over. It might be because the lighting is a bit flat. -- Solipsist 19:37, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Illustrative, but not especially so against the staggering number of portraits around. Matthewcieplak 11:11, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
