Original - Robin Hunicke is a video game designer and producer known for her work with thatgamecompany an Electronic Arts. She has worked on games including MySims, Boom Blox and Journey.

Reason: Wonderful portrait, really stands out from the crowd. Composition, expression and resolution are all great. This would, I believe, be our first video game related FP.

Support - Fantastic portrait. The only possible complaint in my opinion would be the shallow DOF, but it is certainly an artistic choice. I'd like to request the closer leave a note on the Flickr file page if this is promoted (or let me know and I will). Jujutacular ^talk 03:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, about video game FPs, we did have this one. Jujutacular ^talk 03:20, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support The shallow DOF enhances the portrait drawing all focus to her. The color of this is stunning: her hair and her irises in particular. At full zoom I can not find any lighting issues or blurring issues. --Guerillero | My Talk 06:45, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Yes it is an absolutely stunning portrait. But the background is completely inappropriate for the person, she's standing in front of a tree as she designs and produces computer games? See the diver nom below for an example of a great background. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:06, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Is that not perhaps the point? She's hardly the stereotype. J Milburn (talk) 09:17, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Also, take a look at our article on Thatgamecompany, for which this photograph was taken; this is a company that produces games about petals, clouds and deserts, not about guns, swords and cars. J Milburn (talk) 09:23, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - All I'm saying is that when she's doing the thing which is the reason she has a wikipedia page, she is probably not standing in front of a tree. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - File:Maggie Roswell.jpg, File:Jimmy Wales Fundraiser Appeal edit.jpg, File:Thomas Edison2.jpg, File:Donald Pleasence Allan Warren edit.jpg, File:Vexi Salmi.jpg, this one has an even clearer tree --Muhammad(talk) 15:09, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        The first 4 have very plain backgrounds, acceptable for almost all portraits. The last guy is a musician, but from his portrait I don't get a feeling of this, making it a poor portrait, just like this one. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 16:55, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        If a plain background is acceptable then why not an OOF tree which is not distracting? --Muhammad(talk) 17:26, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        
        I had no idea it was a tree, just looks like an interesting backdrop to complement her face for a portrait. Jujutacular ^talk 19:35, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Tomer T (talk) 11:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support despite shallow DOF and odd top crop. --Avenue (talk) 16:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Very good portrait despite the extreme dof solution. Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(strong) Oppose: bad background because of an akin hair color and it's disturbing in general, very noisy, too short DOF, head poorly cut off at top (--> limited EV), ... --ka ʁs tn 12:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose DOF is too shallow, her chin and ears are out of focus. Ahirwav (talk) 10:06, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom --Muhammad(talk) 13:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the top of her head's missing, the chin's not defined, ears are out-of-focus. Maybe this is arty, although I think not.TehGrauniad (talk) 19:55, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Crop is too tight. Gabeguss (talk) 00:17, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as above, I think that this is fantastic. Cowtowner (talk) 08:27, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above, as I think the picture is great. I wrote the thatgamecompany article, but have not touched her article or picture. --Pres N 18:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
