Retention of photo under "fair use" provision
I took the liberty of adding a new photo of Jessica, that I thought would represent her in a better light, on a sailboat and with a cheerful smile! With all due respect to the person who had submitted the previous "mug shot," I thought it was dreary-looking, and there was some strange lighting that caused the white of one of her eyes to light up like a miner's lamp. She also had a rather tired expression in that picture.

The new photo was taken by a professional photographer, with whom I have corresponded, and she was fine with using it, under the "fair use" provision. She was reluctant, on the other hand, to give us the "free" version under a license such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA). That is the reason I uploaded the file with a claim for "fair use." This statement can also be found at Jessica Watson, in the Discussion section.
