(I've been going through thousands of PD files searching for potential FPs and I promise to hold off for a while before raising more peer review suggestions - thanks for looking at these).

Comments:

• It does look very nice at thumbnail size, and it is a huge resolution image. If it was just the blurred arm on the left (which can't be cropped because that would destroy the composition), the image would probably pass. However, there is a huge amount of dust or damage on the image, the face actually isn't in terribly good focus, and there is something very seriously wrong with Lee's beard. Even though I don't like it, looking at other FP portraits from the same period, it would probably pass if someone could remove all of the dust or damage. - Enuja (talk) 03:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
• We already have this picture of Lee as an FP. This is a good picture (admittedly I'm a bit of a Lee fan), but a second FPC of the same person would usually come under quite harsh scrutiny. I'm not sure we learn much more about Lee from this second image that we can't get from the current FP. --jjron (talk) 07:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
