What is a Suitable Scope?

I found this image describing the "Powell Washing Powder incident" (when Secretary of State holding a vial of anthrax on UNSC and waging war on Iraq, later doubted if he is only holding washing powder). Then can any suggest a suitable scope of this image? many thanks for your assistance.廣九直通車 (talk) 04:32, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

@廣九直通車: Difficult. How about this:
  • Colin Powell with anthrax model at the UN Security Council, 2003
  • Colin Powell at the February 5, 2003 UN Security Council meeting

  •  Comment That's a very interesting subject and black and white seems like a good choice, but I'm not sure I'd vote for it at FP. My main problem is the vertical bar in the background – maybe a light pole? It's a bit distracting as it intersects with the part of the bark that's sticking out. Photography aside, people at FPC usually expect a bit more in terms of description text and categories – in your case: what kind of tree is this? --El Grafo (talk) 09:00, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment Wonderful eye for detail. But, besides the background issue mentioned by El Grafo (which is really distracting), it’s not really sharp. Altogether nice but not outstanding, with some drawbacks. As for composition, I’d have placed the peeling-off part left of center so it looks "into" the frame, but that’s a matter of taste. --Kreuzschnabel 18:33, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
