I prefer the Reagan picture to the Gates and Obama pictures (assuming you mean
this one?. Even so, the are both of exceptional quality and therefore feature worthy unless pictures with better backgrounds come along. :p--

Failedtwice, to be exact, and the first nom has a lot more detailed comments than you make it seem here. It doesn't really seem that consensus changed between the two nominations, but anyway, if you have gripes about it, this is not the place to discuss them.

Support This is the original composition that was so crudely pastiched for the
Obama portrait. Such are the subtleties of fine portraiture that, despite their apparent similarity, this one is a deserving FP while the Obama one manages to be an aesthetic and compositional disaster... despite the grainy film scan vs Obama's smooth digital image, this shot has much greater integrity. It was a surprise to discover it wasn't already featured. --

Mike Evans, but i can only find anecdotal evidence. This
write-up following his death, for example, would appear to make him a strong candidate. --

Support Well illustrative of Reagan and his profession. Good composition and a natural smile.

Opposes should come with a reason, otherwise they don't weight nearly as much in the final consensus tally. upstateNYer 03:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)reply
So you want me to say that he used to be an actor and it shows ? To me the smile is a phony. 18:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Tentative Oppose Like the image and the face expression, but the color tone should be fixed, especially the skin tone.--

Oppose The colours seem a bit wrong; Reagan's skin does have an odd tone to it.
