Cianci is an infamous figure in US politics for the extent of the corruption his administration perpetuated, and he has been often derided in popular culture for many years. This is presently the only image of him. -- Notyourbroom (talk)
Comment Acceptable scope, but the image is really of very poor quality: disturbing background, overexposed, etc. Yann (talk) 10:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's less than ideal, but it was the best I could do trying to track him as a moving target from about 20 meters away. I took several quick shots, and this one turned out best. His bald head in the mid-day sunlight definitely came out overexposed, but the most crucial element (the face) is immediately recognizable and surpasses "the quality achievable using the built-in camera in a modern mobile phone," which seems to be the baseline for image quality for VI. Point 3.2 of the criteria is violated, I agree, but keep in mind that this was taken at a parade—unless I were to run out onto the parade route to take the photo from a different angle, there is no avoiding the incidental capture of the crowd standing on the other side of the route. So all in all, my nomination of this image was based on the observation that it is the only free photo of this subject we have, and that I think it's of reasonable quality for the circumstances under which it was taken. —Notyourbroom (talk) 13:26, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
