Oppose The lighting appears to be a bare strobe attached to the camera just to its right (rotated camera). Such harsh point source-like lighting is as far from high-quality lighting as one can get. The picture is too dark. The color is too saturated. Although Peter Ustinov is a very interesting person, the exceedingly poor quality of the picture is insufficient to evoke the “stop, stare & click” reaction to Featured Pictures we would hope to see out of our I.P. readership.

Greg L is correct about the positioning, but I'd disagree with the assessment that its a point source, the penumbrae indicate something softer. The total effect feels a bit like a ring light to me. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:28, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This is a very good portrait. The lighting is slightly eccentric, but we can clearly see the intent of the photographer, to highlight the subject while still showing the surrounding, homelike environment. Chick Bowen15:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
