 * Comment. I'm a bit torn on this one. It's technically excellent as a basic portrait, but compositionally it's very average and she looks quite awkward. I really think the photographer should have gone for more of a head shot or gone a bit wider with a more characterful standing pose. I'm far from an expert portrait shooter but I'd never ask someone to stand arms by their side looking like a deer in headlights. ;-) &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  01:27, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Overall I'm not too keen on most of the Royal Society portraits (same reason, basically... that and the blatant dust spots a lot have) but this one turned out okay. There's resolution to make a crop, so I'll try a standard headshot crop. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:24, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
