Original – Suffragette and journalist Genevieve Clark Thomson
Alt 1 - crop
Reason
There's a lot to like about this photo regarding the naturalness of pose and expression, and being very good for this time period (the 1910s were a transitional period away from the excessively long photographic takes of the Victorian period, but that had some compromises that would take a while to get past; I'd say this photo is actually exceptional for the era)

It's possible a crop was intended, but I do like details, like the Western Union Telegraph form on the left. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.7% of all FPs. 23:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Cluttery comp. Bio article thin at 140 words. Subject's foray into politics was brief and unsuccessful. Negligible EV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sca (talkcontribs)
  • Support Alt 1 – The crop is much better. Her face is out of focus, but at 50% magnification it passes for a historic photo IMO. Bammesk (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
