Original – Arundhathi Roy the author of Booker Prize winning novel 'The God of Small Things'

Reason: A rare free picture of the popular writer. There is a slight amount of motion blur at full size due to the low lighting conditions but IMO it does not detract much from the picture. Otherwise good composition and very good encyclopedic value.

Weak Oppose Good sharpness, but, unfortunately the face itself looks blurry. I would have supported it otherwise, notwithstanding the background. Nikhil (talk) 02:10, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
