 * Reason:High technical standard (object is in focus, good color balance, little grain or compression (ISO 200)), good composition, appropriate lighting, but most and foremost, very high EV as it's a perfect profile of a geisha showing off her make-up, her hair (wig), her kimono, her obi, her doing the seiza, and all of this in her "natural habitat", a zashiki (tatami) room. A rather rare photo, if I may say so myself.

 * Support - Crop is a little tight (the kimono is a bare hundred pixels or so from the edge) but the composition is still acceptable. Wouldn't this also have good EV in seiza? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:15, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - Oh, yes. Like the strait back, the stillness and the profile and the blacks and whites with just a touch of colour on lips, hair and robe. Only wish it was slightly more space in front, but it will do anyway. Hafspajen (talk) 09:22, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. I think it's a superior composition compared to the previous geisha FPs and there is plenty of detail. I'll have to assume it's authentic as I'm not really knowledgeable enough to comment on that. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  18:50, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Good enough for a lead image. Brandmeistertalk  15:06, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per nominator. Striking image. I like the crop myself. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 02:24, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
