Comment -- His body seems OOF. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:59, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Higher f-stop would have been better, but can't reshoot, and it's good enough. High EV. Clegs (talk) 10:37, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Slightly interesting choice of shadows, but not so obvious at larger sizes, and overall it's good. Source could be made clearer. --jjron (talk) 13:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The whole left side of his body is out of focus which, combined with the drop in shoulder height, makes it look like somebody else is coming up behind him. There are many better portraits of Clark Gable out there. Yomangani ^talk 11:11, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per my above comment and Yomangani's Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:13, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Insufficient proof of copyright status. Per Wikimedia counsel (in response to a query about publicity images such as this), "It is essential to confirm that the exact image uploaded to Common was released without a copyright notice". See WP:CCI#Attorney reply. There is no proof specific to this image showing that there was no copyright notice/no renewal. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This image has the same copyright status as FP File:Hepburn-afternoon.jpg, which editors thought was appropriate (see FPC). —Eustress ^talk 19:23, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Only one editor at all responded to my comment on that photo, and that was before Wikimedia counsel weighed in, in any event. Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:01, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
