Oppose, the picture is nice... but I'm not sure that just an old person does such a great job of representing aging.... I think one of the seasons of man painting sets or something that actually shows comparison of different ages would be better After adding that it's in old age I'm not sure--since it represents that rather well. It definitely needs a description before I can make a decision. gren グレン 10:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like it, it's kind of interesting, just not sure it's FP material. The large, burnt-out white part upper left really robs the image of any subtlety and the repro here is a little over-sharpened. mikaul 17:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  - It's not an eye catching picture. Do people need a reason to support?
    - Yes, they do. How is it not eye-catching, it clearly shows the deterioration of the human body, what could be more eye-catching? --User:Ahadland1234 20:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've always liked this image and I think it shows the effects of aging in a artistic way. -Wutschwlllm 21:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this doesn't show anything I don't see on the street every day. A FP should be more remarkable than this picture. YechielMan 00:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I really like the subject, and think that showing ageing can be very encyclopedic. However, this particular image does not have the amount of information that it should have; the strict profile and distracting window in the background make me confused about what is going with the person's face shape, instead of clear about the changing in face shape with ageing. It's a very clear photo, and beautiful, but just doesn't carry enough information. Enuja 16:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose That would scare me away from Wikipedia if it was on the front page. BlackBear 19:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Blown-out window and would prefer a frontal view of the face to see all the lines in her face. howcheng {chat} 06:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
