You are spliting hairs. The quality is enough and that is not too noisy to say.Alborzagros (talk) 07:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose smudged details, lacking sharpness... perhaps it would fulfil criteria for Quality Image, but not Featured. SkywalkerPL (talk) 21:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per Monfie. The very high ISO setting is an inexplicable major technical error (even people who are new to high-end photography know not to do this, especially as there's no reason to do so with when using an excellent camera such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in a studio), and renders the photo blury at anything less than thumbnail size. As there's no offsetting strong EV (the photo shows Mr Banisadr 30 years after the end of his presidency, and 20 years after his book was published) the FP criteria clearly aren't met.

    • I largely agree with you about the image quality, but I don't think this was taken in a studio. It was taken with a 300mm lens and 1/200th of a second at ISO 3200. Anything ISO significantly less than that would probably result in camera shake. My guess is that it was taken from a press gallery or something like that, as the file description says it was taken at the University of Hamburg. The EXIF data says subject distance of 6 metres. That's definitely not a studio environment. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 23:06, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Having used a 60D for the past 2 years, I am impressed by the noise handling of the 5D at 3200. I'd have denoised a bit and downsampled, but the quality is there. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:34, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can tell you, that's not the native output of a 5D Mk ii at ISO 3200. Definitely there's some strong noise reduction applied in post-processing (the skin texture is a bit plasticy), but yes even so, the noise levels are much less than with a crop sensor.
