Oppose A decent portrait, and QI no doubt, but pretty basic. No wow factor. INeverCry 23:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then this portrait of Angela Merkel should not be a featured picture? What about this one of Jens Stoltenberg, or this one of Erck Rickmers... Firebrace (talk) 00:13, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per INC, and to answer your question, I would vote to feature only the photo of Stoltenberg and neither of the others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:45, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent portrait, no flaws, featurable by itself IMO. Per Firebrace, the comparison with Frau Merkel is relevant. This nomination is a good reaction of "Commons" to the current political events in Britain.--Jebulon (talk) 13:34, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per INC. To further the oppose response to Firebrace, while I might well not have supported featuring the Rickmers portrait, the Merkel and Stoltenberg ones have some dynamics (raised arm, face looking past the camera) that this one does not. Frankly it's just a very well-done ID photo. I'm sure as her time in No. 10 continues there will be ample opportunity for more featurable photo ops.

In my view, the Merkel picture would be feature-worthy if her hand was in shot. It isn't obvious that she is waving; she could be holding on to something or leaning against a wall – the crop and background mean there is no context. She also has a red glow on the side of her hair... Firebrace (talk) 23:57, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per others. ~ Moheen ^(talk) 16:35, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Jebulon. Extremely useful, unfortunately downscaled. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:30, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent naturally portrait. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:35, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose no "wow" for me. --El Grafo (talk) 18:02, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
