Original - Anatoliy Byshovets is a football coach from Russia who has managed the Soviet Union, Russia and South Korea. He was formerly a striker, playing his entire career with Dynamo Kyiv.
Edit - cropped
Reason
Compelling photograph with bags of character, despite its rather standard pose. Nice lighting, and he looks like a football coach, which is nice. Would be our first Russian athlete (second if my nomination lower down the page passes by some miracle) and our first football coach.

Yes, a crop with more of the face (as % of the image) might work better. Face: it might have good EV (although in this pic the character seems annoyed/grumpy/sad) but it is not outstanding or eye-catching (I think mundane subjects should be of really high quality, while outstanding subjects can be of lower technical quality to be worth featuring).

The expression actually made it stand out, to me; it just screams "football manager". I guess I could attempt an alternative crop myself at some point, if no one else fancies giving it a go. J Milburn (talk) 09:05, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
