File:GraemeSouness-3.png[edit]
This is not an original drawing (with a pencil) but a "paint like" retouched - or better: automatically and without human or creative input edited by photoshop - photograph, e.g. http://football.uk.msn.com/world-cup-2010/photos/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=154013708&page=23 cropped and mirrored. Not entirely own work, derivative work based on a non-free photograph. If it even is a derivative work and not just a malformed copy, I can not see any original authorship in the editing. --Martin H.

- Hei Martin H., take it easy pal... First of all see who uploaded it and then try to analyse the situation. Just take this image as suggestion how to solve the big problem of Wikipedia and more exactly the shortage of photos of the famous people. You know, an article without some illustration is half an article. If the way I suggest will not start working then I'm going to suggest founding of some committee with “hard photos supply mission”. As for this image, if I upload three more versions with strengthen retouch so that to intensify the authorship that you cannot see, will this be ok? ;)--MrPanyGoff (talk) 16:53, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- No, it is a derivative work of someone else work, the photographer of the original did not agree to the license, so your are not allowed to upload it. See Commons:First steps/License selection, this one is not free of third party copyrights and no matter how much you will edit it, it will never be a free image. So dont upload any other versions of this. And why should I care abiout who is the uploader? I never care about that. Here I can only see that the original source is not even provided but that the upload is claimed as beeing 'entirely own work'. Thats a disrespect to copyrights and a disrespect to the fact that without someone else work this "work" will not even exist. Does it make any difference what user uploaded it? No. --Martin H.
