 * Reason:Striking, well-composed, high-res professional photo. A couple reservations: focus isn't quite right, or there has been a lot of airbrushing that makes it look a bit OOF. Also, what is going on with her breasts? The bulges in her jacket are way too far apart for any normal human. (and maybe a bit high esp considering she's braless? and asymmetrical in height? and large compared to her flat chest where the jacket is open?) So there's been some slightly fishy photoshopping going on here, but I think the image should get a hearing here regardless. I'm on the fence about whether her bizarre breasts are a deal-breaker.

 * Oppose - Unless it can be shown that her actual breasts are that far apart, this would be misrepresenting the subject. Great resolution though. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Viewing the image while cranking up gamma correction does reveal some funny business going on around that left tweeter (her left, our right). My guess is that the original photo showed her flat chested on that side (probably both sides) and they "fixed" it by giving the poor dear a bad boob job. JBarta (talk) 07:36, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I looked at our other pictures of her, and it appears that she does have a fairly wide chest... but not enough to explain this. Mind you, the other pix are tiny. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It could just be a front opening bra sitting under the leather jacket. The photo has obviously been airbrushed pretty significantly though, and there seems to be weird stuff, possibly from cloning, going on around the zip on the right side in particular.

 * Oppose Poor image quality, Hair crossing pupil, plastic skin. JFitch   (talk)  10:27, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I was ready to support at thumbnail, but I'm really not keen on the very heavy airbrushing (which, I assume, is what gives her the "flat chest" mentioned in the nom). It's a good photo to have, but I don't think it's FP material. J Milburn (talk) 14:33, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Nice girl, nice artwork. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 18:26, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- Striking, but flawed. Useful, but not FP worthy in my opinion. JBarta (talk) 20:25, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Breasts aside, the skin is obviously blurred (see, e.g., by the navel). Given the heavy corrections, it is hard to tell what is true here, and what is the encyclopedic value of this image. Materialscientist (talk) 09:50, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Heavy air-brushing and post processing. Would favor a well executed realistic photo rather than a publicity shot. Kaldari (talk) 02:52, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
