  • Oppose - Cutout is quite obvious. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:43, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
When the cutting out helps to make the picture better, why can it be a factor to refuse a photo as FP? __ Alborzagros (talk) 11:05, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
  • When it's done poorly, like here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:49, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose. This looks like a wax statue not the real person, and so does not meet one or more of the "encyclopedic value", "appropriate description" or "avoids digital manipulation" criteria. DrKiernan (talk) 11:19, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I agree that it appears to be a wax figure. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:37, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose-- A bad cutout, surely  - The Herald (here I am) 17:44, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose I clicked on the picture and it said " This figure appears to be a waxwork sculpture rather than the actual king. The real person has a liver spot on his right cheek and bags under his eyes." Mattximus (talk) 01:13, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose - it looks plastic, shoulder is lost in the black background --AtsmeConsult 03:54, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Could someone close this? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:25, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
