•  Oppose -- I don't like the cutting around the hair. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 19:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose, the cutting is terrible. Why didn't they use a white background instead? --Aqwis (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
  • If you ask me, I think it was done on purpose to create soft edges.--Avala (talk) 20:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, the image is poorly masked Lycaon (talk) 20:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Good James Bond-type portrait of one of today's world leaders. Yes the soft edges are terrible, but it seems to be the best picture of this guy. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
  • A leader?! You mean a marionette, right? (scnr) --AngMoKio (talk) 12:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
  • If it is the best picture on Commons of this guy, it could do well at COM:VI. But being the "best on Commons" is not a criterion for acceptance as a FP. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:32, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose The edges kill the picture. --Lošmi (talk) 03:08, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose The soft edges are indeed unfortunate. --Estrilda (talk) 07:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose As per the edging on the photo. IMO, this is a much better photo. --russavia (talk) 09:26, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with russavia. --AlexanderKlink (talk) 10:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Well Putin is blurry in that other photo.--Avala (talk) 20:52, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
    • You'll find that is probably supposed to be like that. This is a photo which was done for Medved's presidential campaign. If you followed the election you'll know that the campaign was built around them being a 'team', but you will notice how Medved is placed out in the front of the photo, whilst Putin is in the background; perhaps this matches the reality somewhat. --russavia (talk) 16:51, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose agree with Lycaon. --AngMoKio (talk) 12:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Georgez (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
