• Oppose - It's useful, yes, and she is a heck of a person. But the image itself is garish. The red gradient background overwhelms the subject at thumbnail, and even at full size it contrasts too sharply. NASA has yet to learn to save its files at a less lossy compression, and it shows here: noticeable JPG artefacting even at 100% where the garish red background is, giving her a sort of halo. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:49, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
