Oppose Nice photo, but the EV is spoiled by the back-lighting of her head (which appears to have been done to create a scientist-as-hero type effect). If this could be removed the photo would have real FP potential. Nick-D (talk) 05:53, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't see the problems. Worst you could say is that it could be a smidgen sharper. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 09:50, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Nick-D, the back lighting of her hair ruins it. Cat-five t c ---- 13:34, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Striking my vote after reading Crisco's comment. I'm not willing to support because I still see it still detracts from the subject IMO but not enough to oppose. Cat-five t c ---- 11:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Nick-D: staged photo, irritating back-lighting. ~~does not illustrate anything useful. Also, the person illustrated seems to be borderline notable at best.~~ --Randykitty (talk) 14:15, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrating an (ostensibly notable) person in an article about the person illustrates nothing useful? That is most certainly the most... unique... definition of EV I've read. If you think the person is not notable, AFD. If the article survives and the subject is notable enough for Wikipedia, it's notable for FP. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:19, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Adam's comment. Freely released professional-quality portraits of notable people? Yes please. J Milburn (talk) 14:13, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Adam and Mr. Milburn. Just because her hair is glowing doesn't reduce the EV. Increases the visual appeal considerably IMO. Dusty777 01:58, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support The hair light serves to separate her from the background. JJ Harrison (talk) 03:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
