  • Support edit1 - with respect to image quality, it's sharp, nicely framed and has been perfectly composed. Encyclopedic value is equally as good IMO, so I support. (We need more peole FPs) -- Chris B • talk • contribs 08:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support damn you i was going to nom this!! =) excellent quality and composition --Childzy ¤ Talk 11:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Photo is of impressive size and has vivid colors, but Her Majesty's face is not in focus and lacks the crisp detail that a portrait should have. The hat also casts a shadow over her face. Not so impressed. --Bridgecross 13:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support The composition is excellent, and we should remmeber that well composed pictures of the Royal Family that are free use are going to be relatively hard to get - however my concern is the shadow per Bridgecross.Pedro |  Chat  13:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yeh but when you consider that the queen always wears a hat in public, a free license image without a shadow might be hard to get. Anyway the hats pretty, leave it alone —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.182.217 (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak support Overall quality of the picture is good, but the backlight throws a shadow on her face. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghelelio (talk • contribs) 05:59, September 4, 2007
  • Support Nice pic. Cacophony 18:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Support' I was going to oppose on grounds of the face not being nice and crisp, and then realized I'm looking at a person, not a bird. So yeah. I dub thee Lady Featured Picture! --HereToHelp 00:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support edit 1 Fir's done it again!--HereToHelp 21:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Debivort 04:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support on the assumption we have no other free images of H.M. I am no expert, but is it possible that some histogram work could improve the shadow situation somewhat? Also, I hope to one day receive my own framed Hubb. --Dhartung | Talk 06:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yeah, I was wanting one of those Hubb's too, especially a framed one... ;) --jjron 08:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I went ahead and rewrote the cut-off caption. Vote changed to support edit 1 although I still feel Edit 1 is not quite there, despite being a great improvement. --Dhartung | Talk 04:14, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to oppose this: blown hat and coat (it was obviously a windy day ;)), uncomfortably-tight crop, and rear-focussing leaving the facial detail soft. A fill flash or even nifty post-processing would have made a world of difference. The crop is so tight that the Hubb is totally obscured from view. mikaultalk 14:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Above. 8thstar 15:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per above --Brendan44 18:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom --Brent Ward 18:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose due to face darker than background Spebudmak 23:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Her face is not as in-focus as her jacket, but it's not a fatal flaw. As for her face being darker than the background... I'm not sure that detracts at all. She has a hat on, which shields her from the sun. It's part of the composition. -Harmil 07:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good pic --Kryobot 18:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Blown highlights all over the place, and the shadowing is a shame. To find good-quality pictures of HM, I'd suggest finding images of her meeting with U.S. politicians-- these are more likely to be public domain and can be cropped as appropriate. I think the portrait of HRH Charles on his bio page is such an image. Spikebrennan 21:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 1, strong oppose Original but only because her face was too much in the shade there. (Edit 1 has much nicer colors; I like the composition and didn't see other major flaws.) – sgeureka t•c 11:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 1 Brighter, more details. Smokizzy (talk) 15:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 1 I was holding my vote because of the shadow on the face, but now i can only approve :) Ksempac 15:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 1. Much better. NauticaShades 17:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 1, Oppose Original. A lot better without the shadow. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 19:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
