Support as nominator – Finishing the nomination process on behalf of Flavinista. I started a new nomination page since several days have gone by since the original was created. I also support as a clearly high-quality picture of a notable planetary geologist. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:24, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I also support a small crop on left side, but that's not a big deal, either way. Bammesk (talk) 03:30, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
oppose poor composition. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:32, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Charles. Centered subject with a very busy background. Geoffroi 16:53, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree that the background is busy, but FWIW my take is that is FP worthy because (a) the technical quality on the subject is quite good, (b) the lighting/flash makes for clear separation between subject/background, and (c) we can see enough of the background for it to add context -- it's clearly space-related, at NASA. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There exists space-related backgrounds that aren't as busy. Any nebula shot or close-up of Saturn will do. MER-C 19:34, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Direct (on-camera) flash is not great for portraits. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:36, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charles, this isn't direct on-camera flash. It is coming from an angle and it's diffused. Personally I like the background. I just think the left side can be cropped a little, for balance. That's just me. Composition is always a subjective thing. Bammesk (talk) 04:29, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note: the reason I mentioned "centred subject" is that I prefer a vertical composition for portraits of a single person. As for the background, busy ones take away attention from the subject. MER-C has suggested the simple background choices available, and one of those would be better.

Weak support. I don't think the background is that distracting... Josh Milburn (talk) 07:43, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
