Hi there, Ktin! I thought I'd drop you a note as a courtesy. I'm promoting your nomination, Kekhashru Mistry, without its image. First of all, we're still running the non-bio shortage, and if I hold more bio hooks for image slots, the bill is going to come due later. Second, i don't agree with your reviewer's assessment (and I'll ping Joseph2302 as a courtesy as well) that this image is clear at 100px across—the image is only 217px across, which isn't nearly enough to make out the salient details in the guy's face, especially when you zoom in. Even at 100px, you can see that Mistry's face has a blurry look. I'm really sorry i couldn't take this one, but there are lots of images and waiting doesn't always guarantee that it'll be the image the promoter wants to pick.
