At this blog there is this photograph nimr-baqir-al-nimr.jpg which resembles File:Sheikh Nemer Baqir Al-Nemer by Talkhandak.jpg very closely. Flip nimr-baqir-al-nimr.jpg left-to-right, scale it up by a factor of 1.15 (i.e. to 690x420), look at it as a transparent layer on top of Sheikh Nemer Baqir Al-Nemer by Talkhandak.jpg, and I think that the evidence of Sheikh Nemer Baqir Al-Nemer by Talkhandak.jpg being a derivative work of nimr-baqir-al-nimr.jpg, apparently (c) w:Press TV, is very strong. The artist making the derived version changed very little apart from the style, but cropped the turban a little. ... Feel free to copy/paste this paragraph to a another page where it's appropriate. (signed) Boud Additional note: this image was license reviewed but reviewer apparently didn't find the original photograph. Besides the turban being a little smaller, notice that the curled blue book appears in both images, and also the inner cuff of his right sleeve. The similarities between the two images are compelling. This image is a Derivative Work of a Press TV image from here. Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:29, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

- Keep I believe the only thing is in common between painting and photo is view angle. All details of face and clothes and lighting has been changed. In the other word, if there is another photo or video from this moment you easily distinguish it from press TV photo, but you can not know painting is deducted from which one. Even if that photo became CC this work would be CC too ??!! Monfie (talk) 06:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Comment Incidentally, in that culture, holding the mic with the left hand would be Mustahabb, as doing so would cause his words to be impure, hence the photograph was taken before the flipped to the left hand mic version which was "painted." Ellin Beltz (talk) 01:31, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- It is actually Makruh, not Mustahabb, to hold religious text with left for some muslims. But this culture also depends. Sunni Arabs care but Shia people, of at least Shia people of Iran, don't care about this, and believe there is no difference between hands in daily tasks.Monfie (talk) 05:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Keep I second what Monfie said. The proficient designer, Mr Vajedi, is simply able to recreate his works from ground up as he demonstrated progress of one of his works here, also the original uploaded image had different portion from that image. −ebrahimtalk 12:59, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment This image is still a derivative work. That page you reference shows that the artist works from photographs. That is the problem here. The artist has worked from a photograph, but Commons doesn't have the photographer's permission. Please see a similar case which is widely known and featured on en:wiki Barack Obama "Hope" poster. And notice that the image is on English Wikipedia, not here on Commons. Ellin Beltz (talk) 22:50, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
