Barack Obama after inaugural address[edit]

Reason: President Barack Obama waves to the crowd after his inaugural address. The image has good lighting and framing, and shows the subject in an active posture. It is a historic image with high encyclopedic value.

Sorry, but IPs do not have suffrage at FPC. If you wish to vote, please create an account. It is also good etiquette to provide a reason for your support, even if it is 'per nomination'. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 10:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks good, more FP-worthy than his official portrait. TheCoffee (talk) 02:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, facial expression looks like he is either playing an invisible trumpet or just got done sucking a lemon. TAway (talk) 03:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support - Noteworthy image, very well taken, and of a historical moment in history. Jason (talk) 04:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Perhaps we should wait a while to see if any better pictures of the inauguration come out. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think we should suspend all Obama/inauguration related nominations for a week, to see if any better photos emerge. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 10:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. I think a bit of distance from the excitement (or maybe more than a bit) will let us deal with these without relying as much on our own personal impressions of what is or isn't a "historical moment in history".--ragesoss (talk) 17:06, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I also agree with this plan. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 18:42, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Pile-on agree. Omnibus (talk) 18:45, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - So does that mean that these noms should be suspended?--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 20:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yes, and any subsequent noms should be held until next Tuesday. We need time to digest everything out there so the best of the best can come forward. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 21:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Original is too insipid, I prefer Edit 1. --06:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by NBALIVE2551 (talk • contribs)
Oppose - Nowhere near the quality or EV of his official portrait, which was just defeated. Cacophony (talk) 03:45, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose since this wasn't suspended. Not high enough quality or EV. Makeemlighter (talk) 03:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
