- Reason
- I don't think we should be waiting for a better shot of her. This has high EV and is high quality. This and another full length crop from her official portrait are used throughout WP. I would nominate the uncropped version, but it is not used on WP. The other version is currently a VP nom at Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Michelle Obama official portrait crop

- Strong oppose. Really don't like the composition of this (or any of the others, but particularly the headshot). It's far too front-on, and cropping out both arms just doesn't work IMO. And the resolution is just sub-par in the headshot crop. Yes, it's above the minimum specs, but it's not sharp. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:13, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose The quality isn't very good. Additionally, what's with her eyes and forehead? Her hair is raised too high in my opinion. Haljackey (talk) 05:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
- Reluctant oppose. Fantastic expression. Too bad about the composition: the curtain looks like it's growing out of her head. Durova412 23:29, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose The curtain thing is hilarious with the crop, but I don't see the EV. Afrazn Beauti (talk) 04:09, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose She has helmet hair. I like the curtain growth though. :) Maddie talk 01:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
