Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/MacBeth

Original - Thos. W. Keene in MacBeth, c. 1884.

Reason: One of the rare cases where a crop improves an image's encyclopedic value: by cropping the actor's name, this image gets a focus on MacBeth itself, the important element to us. (File:Thomas Keene in MacBeth 1884.png includes the banner with Thos. W. Keene's name; and File:Thomas Keene in Macbeth 1884 unrestored.png is the original)

- Oh, some people complained about it (at the articles) with the other images in this series, because they thought it emphasised the actor too much, distracting emphasis from the play. Figured that with this one it was pretty easy to give them what they wanted, and I rather like how it turned out. The alternative crop covers any situations where such focus would be inappropriate: for instance, if someone made an article or webpage about Thomas W. Keene, the alt image would be preferred there.
