• Support as nominator --J Milburn (talk) 18:20, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose Sorry but that was a poor choice of lighting setup. The face has inadequate fill on the right side and seems underexposed in general. It all results in the eyes being drawn to the resultingly distracting highlights and out of focus monitor in the background. Mfield (Oi!) 18:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose per above --Childzy ¤ Talk 19:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose not very sharp and lighting is bad, it looks like he is wearing make-up.--Avala (talk) 22:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
  • He's wearing foundation and has something on his lips (may be vaseline/balm rather than gloss) but that's usual for newsreaders. J Milburn (talk) 22:25, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose, per MField. He is made up for television, but this doesn't lower the EV here, and possibly increases it. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose Looks like Sears portrait photography of an understudy for La Cage Aux Folles. Mediocrity in full flower.--Hugh Manatee (talk) 00:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose per Mfield.--Otterathome (talk) 09:38, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
