Reason: Another in a series of photographs of photographers. There are a couple other options (e.g. File:Russell-Lee-FSA.jpg), but this one was by far the most widely used, and the one that looked the worst in the old version. I'd say the crop is fairly conservative: I didn't crop any of him (except maybe a few pixels at the bottom: edges aren't perfectly straight), but did take a smidgen more off the right to centre him, and cropped the weird... reflection? damage? intruding lights? at the top, which still has more than ample headspace. (Compare File:Portrait of Russell Lee, FSA (Farm Security Administration) photographer - Original.tif)

Comment – Those out of focus areas aren't great for FP. Can you do something about that, Adam? The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can't go back to the 40s and reshoot it. Choices are either to crop or accept it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 17:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
