  • Appears to be of decent quality and have good EV. However I personally doubt this would pass at FPC. Photos 'looking down' on the subject rarely have the ideal aesthetics, especially when it has a pretty ordinary looking background like here. If the photographer had have got down on the level of the subject (crouched/kneeled down), rather than standing above her and shooting down, it would have most likely made for something more visually appealing. Sorry. --jjron (talk) 14:03, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, thanks. If the lines were removed, would that improve the image? Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:44, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, yeah, I think it would probably look better, but it would be a pretty big job cos they're pretty prominent. In FPC terms, that would also probably put it in violation of Criterion 8, but strictly in terms of the image's use in articles, it would possibly be an improvement. --jjron (talk) 10:54, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
