Michelle Obama official portrait crop[edit]

Original -cropped portrait of Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States
Reason
This has a lot of EV. There are three versions of this image in wikimedia (see below). The two that are widely used on WP are both cropped. Although there are good reasons to crop a headshot, making the other a viable FPC, there are not really good reasons to crop the fingers off and half of the background portrait. Thus, I am seeing if this passes here.

  • Support I think is the best of the three versions. While some might argue that the uncropped version is more encyclopaedic, I think the usage of this file demonstrates that the crop is seen by the wiki community as more valuable. It removes some of the staged features of the setting, allowing a greater focus on the person. --Elekhh (talk) 00:18, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
