NOTE: I nominated this file on September 26, but only remembered that I needed to add the nomination to the list on September 29, and nobody saw it. As such, I've changed the end of the voting period from October 5 to October 8; if you feel this is inappropriate, feel free to change it back. DS (talk) 17:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Something went wrong with the digitization; parts of it are totally black, in a way that is clearly distinguishable from the non-black areas. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:36, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Take a look at his hair and suit. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:22, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment I bought one of these in 1984, a few months after it was released, when I was studying in America... -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:02, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose for one thing, lighting is so dark on one side of his face you can barely see it. Seven Pandas (talk) 22:28, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Seven Pandas and bad left crop --Michielverbeek (talk) 17:54, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others; he looks like a Bond villain here (which of course some people may see as entirely apt). Daniel Case (talk) 02:45, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I kinda like it. It's a very non-standard portrait (red background? wtf!) of a very much non-standard person. The whole thing feels fittingly awkward, like a single button mouse. But the digitization is less than perfect. The clipping blacks have already been mentioned, but there's also a lot of dirt in the top left corner. The shadow gradient at the right edge shows some serious posterization that's not there in the unedited .tif. And with the already very tight crop of the original, I don't think getting rid of the round corners by cropping even more is the way to go … (why does everything need to be squared anyway?) --El Grafo (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
