 * Comment. I really don't like the strong lighting (it's significantly blown - yuck) and pose (she looks more like a replicant from Bladerunner), but I'm not sure if I'm even qualified to talk about what makes a good fashion model portrait so I'm reluctant to oppose without hearing other POV. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  18:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I don't know much about fashion photography either, but I don't think people are supposed to look like they're made of plastic. Kaldari (talk) 23:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

 * The plastic objection is really not a valid reason to oppose a fashion photograph. Basically all editorial photos make models look like plastic. Just for one point of comparison, here is a scan of the cover editorial in Paris Vogue this month (scroll down). Rose Cordero is looking totally like plastic, and the lighting is extremely uneven.

 * No, you're right, we are in danger of crossing into IDONTLIKE, but the poor lighting that I was referring to was the backlighting. Most of the background is blown white. It's just not aesthetically pleasing to me and only makes it harder to see the details of the model. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  07:57, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Lighting is just a tad uneven... Fletcher (talk) 23:54, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Make up is a fact of life here. Low key lighting means I can't see much of anything though. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Due to poor lighting -- mcshadypl T C  01:29, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per above lighting issues... Gazhiley (talk) 13:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose The lighting isn't just generically bad, but particularly for this subject matter. The photo could stand perhaps without her body (though that is a big piece of the EV of a photo of a model, someone who largely notable for their body), but half of her face is also in heavy shadow, leaving it with so-so EV as a simple biographic photo of the subject as it's currently used.
