Support. I like it a lot. J Milburn (talk) 15:31, 2 June 2012 (UTC)- Support. I think I have one of this guy's textbooks from a few years ago. Improvements: I would have added a hair light, and not cropped so tight on the top. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. This looks likely to be a copyvio. It is credited here to "Samfoto/John Petter Reinertsen". The uploader appears to be someone completely unrelated, an Indian physics student. Their talk page doesn't inspire confidence either. --Avenue (talk) 00:42, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

- Dang, I was kinda half-expecting this to happen. I think I have found the original photographer's e-mail address, and have fired him a quick message. Hopefully he'll respond soon. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 01:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
