Support Great quality and EV. A double attack on systemic bias! Jujutacular ^talk 04:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose oversharpened face, overexposed background, very poor background with columns which were coming out of her head. --kaʁstn 11:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Overexposed background? I suppose this one has an overexposed background as well? We're concerned that the subject be in good exposure. Concerning the columns: I'd be more annoyed if it was a single column coming out of her head. As it is however, it does not distract. Jujutacular ^talk 15:29, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Poor background, and limited EV as by any staged official portrait. --Elekhh (talk) 22:34, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Fantastic EV, as a staged official portrait of an official... Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:06, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic in showing the subject of the article as she wants to be seen. It wouldn't be neutral for her to write her own article yet we feature the official staged photo. Regardless, for a staged official photo of a high official this is very poor composition, considering the spectacular architecture they have there. --Elekhh (talk) 12:08, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. J Milburn (talk) 10:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Oversharpening gives her skin a real scary appearance. Not a fan of the b/g per above, especially given that being an official portrait they've actually chosen it. --jjron (talk) 15:21, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support BG is fine by me, I believe it is actually the Brazilian Presidential Palace, so it makes sense to have a photo of her there. Cowtowner (talk) 17:18, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Overdue support. Not sure why this is sitting here. Lots of supports. Is it in the copyright checking penalty box? I like it. Great descriptive image.TCO (talk) 02:34, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's sitting here because it's on the two-thirds fence and some of the regular closers have voted. Cowtowner (talk) 02:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess someone's got to step up and close this... Thought about it for a while, weighed the arguments, and I believe that the main opposition view was a relatively minor concern about the background; no effect on the subject of the photo. RunningOnBrains^(talk) 09:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That's somewhat questionable, given that out of three straight opposes, mine was clearly predominantly based on the oversharpening, and Carschten also listed that as his first concern. Yes, the background's bad, but that's not the biggest issue. And the oversharpening very definitely affects the subject. --jjron (talk) 11:35, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
