• I support Picture 1. Jdcooper (talk) 20:42, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

@User:Itsyoungrapper Comment: Look at examples of proprieties of acceptable infobox portraits -as accepted by Wikipedia community- usually with focus the person's face, blurred out and contrasting background and appropriate camera angle:

• Justin Trudeau
• Angela Merkel
• Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
• Donald Trump
• Beppe Grillo
• Jean-Claude Juncker
• Martin Schulz

These typically don't have disturbing decoration, background similar to skin color and sharply visible background objects. Your history of rejected infobox portrait change attempts (Talk:Donald Trump#New image proposal, Talk:United States presidential election, 2016#Picture) might clarify your failure to comprehend such basic visual criteria.--Der Golem (talk) 21:15, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

@User: Der Golem, I will write my reply here and merge your discussions on ours talkpages. First of all, if I have to talk about Trump's proposal, image I proposed (first link you mentioned) was rejected because it is from 2012, unfortunately for you, Sobotka's picture is from his premiership and that is from 2014. Second thing: Articles you mentioned use those pictures because there aren't any better and If you look at featured article about Barack Obama, and his lead image or Beata Szydlo you may find that there are also objects like furniture, notes and fax or telephone, According to your interpretation of policy there's a picture you should have proposed, and that is this one where there's no microphone and he's not speaking. There was no problem with old image until you came and selfishly started changing it. You're acting like a bureaucrat who just sticks to one and only rule and doesn't use common sense. We have image that is better, and shows him in normal way I don't see any reason why we should use that picture that is completely unsuitable. Itsyoungrapper (talk) 07:55, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

That image of Obama is taken highly professionally: it has correct camera angle, contrasting colors and the background is considerably blurred out while Obama is in focus. If you simply don't comprehend such elementary visual qualities of photos and refuse to accept rejection of low quality photos by the community (Trump template, Trump article), and you fail to see the major problems of the photo that you propose such as condescending camera angle and beige background with disturbing sharply visible objects, which are clearly not present in any decent portrait (including Obama's), I beleive there is not much to discuss, since your statements are running in circle.--Der Golem (talk) 08:29, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry that you just refuse to accept that this one is just much better than the picture you're proposing (your arguments included), let community decide, discussion with you leads to nowhere, sadly. Itsyoungrapper (talk) 10:41, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
