Which photo should used in the Infobox, A, B, or C? Nightscream (talk) 00:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

D. Clear, well-lit, well-composed. Thanks for pointing out the addition of another photo, Nightscream. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 12:56, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was asked, didn't look at the words, decided I preferred extreme closeup which means C, looked at the words, looked closer at the pix, and decided yes, A would win if cropped to something like 1200 x 1500. And I'm glad that among my thousands of Wikipix there are hardly any portraits. Jim.henderson (talk) 02:20, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I made a possible cropped version, and put it in the above gallery. What do you think? Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 02:42, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
C is indeed a better composition and portrait angle, but inferior quality for our purposes. If Carl Potts did indeed upload that one, maybe he could upload the original image, so that we could do some color magic with it. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 02:47, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re: Astrocog's crop of A: I realize you have to crop narrow around his face to avoid the window and wall edge, but the image right now is too tall and narrow. Therefore need to crop that one further, under his neck, so the shape of the image is like C. Softlavender (talk) 02:52, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-crop A, making it a little wider than the current cropped image. That way the head does not look like it is boxed off; editing the already cropped image would just bring the photo too tight and close to the face. Pejorative.majeure (talk) 02:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Re-cropped according to Jim.henderson's suggestion. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 03:20, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with that is the glare from the window, and the wall edge. It really needs to be narrow around his head, and short under his neck. Heck, I'll do that if no one else will. Softlavender (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
