Wonderful portrait, really stands out from the crowd. Composition, expression and resolution are all great. This would, I believe, be our first video game related FP.
Support - Fantastic portrait. The only possible complaint in my opinion would be the shallow DOF, but it is certainly an artistic choice. I'd like to request the closer leave a note on the Flickr file page if this is promoted (or let me know and I will). Jujutaculartalk 03:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Strong Support The shallow DOF enhances the portrait drawing all focus to her. The color of this is stunning: her hair and her irises in particular. At full zoom I can not find any lighting issues or blurring issues. --

Weak oppose Yes it is an absolutely stunning portrait. But the background is completely inappropriate for the person, she's standing in front of a tree as she designs and produces computer games? See the diver nom below for an example of a great background.

Also, take a look at our article on
Thatgamecompany, for which this photograph was taken; this is a company that produces games about petals, clouds and deserts, not about guns, swords and cars.

All I'm saying is that when she's doing the thing which is the reason she has a wikipedia page, she is probably not standing in front of a tree.

The first 4 have very plain backgrounds, acceptable for almost all portraits. The last guy is a musician, but from his portrait I don't get a feeling of this, making it a poor portrait, just like this one.

If a plain background is acceptable then why not an OOF tree which is not distracting? --

I had no idea it was a tree, just looks like an interesting backdrop to complement her face for a portrait. Jujutaculartalk 19:35, 8 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Support despite shallow DOF and odd top crop. --

(strong) Oppose: bad background because of an akin hair color and it's disturbing in general, very noisy, too short DOF, head poorly cut off at top (--> limited EV), ... --

Oppose DOF is too shallow, her chin and ears are out of focus.

Oppose the top of her head's missing, the chin's not defined, ears are out-of-focus. Maybe this is arty, although I think not.

Support per above, as I think the picture is great. I wrote the thatgamecompany article, but have not touched her article or picture. --PresN 18:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)reply
