I feel this free image is a good candidate for a Feature Picture as it is of high technical and artistic quality, and clearly and neutrally illustrates it's subject.

• Good enough to go with, although I'm a little surprised an artist as successful as this took a portrait with this lighting. Look in her eyes. You can see the equipment the photographer used. Durova^Charge! 18:42, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I gave a stab at an edit. Hmmmm... does something seem off, maybe like the eyes are too dialated? I think the only reason WP probably has this picture is that it's an outtake; if it were perfect, NME would likely own it... Thegreenj (talk) 01:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The composition could be better: the tight cropping cuts off the hair on top. MER-C 03:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
