Oppose Far too snapshotty. Overall composition is bad, theres enough room for a small billboard above his head, the lighting is harsh, his hand looks awkward, he's halfway through a word which makes his mouth look wierd. Just to name a few reasons.JFitch (talk) 09:03, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for the distracting background. J Milburn (talk) 09:15, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per above. I can’t see how readers would be induced to click on a closeup of this image or want to click on the article based on the hard-to-find virtues of this photo. It looks like someone had the good fortune to select an aisle seat, creep out of it, capture the picture while crouching (as the audience puts up with the mild distraction because the photographer had a fine Canon EOS 40D), and then slinked back to their seat. While this nice, it isn’t special and interesting in any way, IMHO. Greg L (talk) 15:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm sorry - it's a nice picture, but the background is mildly distracting and I'd like a rather higher quality for a featured picture. Regretfully, Esther Clementina talk 03:23, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
