Support per nom, I'm not an expert as far as what to expect in the picture EV wise though. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good portrait. As the best photograph in the article, it could be placed higher, but there's no doubt its EV is highest in the body modification section. Chick Bowen 07:11, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support there is a National Geographicesque quality about this image. Purpy Pupple (talk) 08:11, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Has she consented to appearing on the wikipedia front page? --Billpg (talk) 10:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Such consent is not necessary, either legally or ethically, as long as the photograph is taken in a public place and is not demeaning or intrusive, which this image is not. See Commons:Photographs of identifiable people. Chick Bowen 16:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Was it a public place? (Not saying it wasn't. Just checking.) --Billpg (talk) 18:43, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Appears to be outside, so for MOST purposes all outdoors is public space... so we assume it is until we get more detailed information to contradict that assumption. — raeky t 01:25, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A great portrait, but the real focus in this image should be the jewellery and all that jazz. And the beads are out of focus and hugely overexposed. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support The main focus is her face, not the beads, and I think it's an excellent portrait. — raeky t 01:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
