Oppose Distracting foreground. Also crop too tight on both sides, and the heavy grain doesn't help -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)- Oppose The out-of-focus chair in the foreground splits the image apart. Also, it seems to have a digital color noise pattern which I've never seen on a film photo before. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:35, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose as above. --Mile (talk) 09:43, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The distracting chair in the foreground. --Cayambe (talk) 20:19, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support That the chair sticks out between them is kind of the point of the story of the photo. Johnson was on his way out; Nixon was coming in. Their politics could barely be more different. — Rhododendrites talk | 01:14, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 04:53, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Comment I don't think the colour noise is "digital" as King of Hearts claims, but the colour has been altered in the file history, producing a colour shift and more contrast/saturation. I think that alteration of a historic photo is not what Commons should be about. Personally, I would prefer it without the chair, and the point Rhododendrites is making could be served by being at opposite ends of a large empty table. -- Colin (talk) 13:02, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
