- Very pleased with getting hold of these- high quality publicity shots from a commercial film, the article for which I have been working on since the day it was first shown. The images really capture the feel of the film, as well as giving a strong impression of the character of April. As well as a solid illustration for the article on the film, the shots double up as high quality pictures to illustrate our article on the actress. I personally prefer the first image, but I can appreciate that the second is also an extremely good shot, so I offer them both here. I don't, off-hand, remember whereabouts in the film the second shot is- take a look at the plot section of the article and you'll see what I mean. I can check if people want to know. I would also be completely open to these both being promoted as a set, but I'm not red-hot on sets, so this may not be appropriate. (The third image of the set that was released to us is sadly of a slightly lower technical quality, so, despite being a suitable lead image for the article, is a less suitable FPC.)

- Support both, as separate images. The first portrait works well as a lead image in Dakota Blue Richards. The second contextualises Richards character in the film Dustbin Baby, showing her within what is a grimy urban setting (which I presume is characteristic of the film). Their encyclopedic view as illustrations is high in either case. Mostlyharmless ( talk) 05:04, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, per Elekh I'm only supporting the first. I did a pretty cursory evaluation, and the character really stood out - but the rest of the image lets it down. Mostlyharmless ( talk) 04:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah- for a little more context, the film is a dramatisation of a book by Jacqueline Wilson, a British children's author. Although most of her books are aimed at the demographic of 9-12 girls, including this one, they are known for their gritty realism. This one deals with themes as diverse as foster care, youth crime, unwanted pregnancies, bullying and the like, so it's hardly a pretty girl's book about fairies and ballerinas. You would be right to understand the idea of a "grimy urban setting" as key to the film. J Milburn ( talk) 10:39, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

- Support Original per NotFromUtrecht, and good composition. Oppose Alt: Composition is not very good, format not so convenient, overexposed sky, not horizontal. Elekhh ( talk) 20:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Support Original only. I hope someone doesn't complain about a very minor scalping. Noodle snacks ( talk) 21:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
