- Support A good portrait of a person very much in the limelight at the moment (time will tell if she actually ends up being an important historical figure in the long term). --Peulle (talk) 08:00, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment - The source link now produces a different photo. How should that be handled, and do you think the new photo is better? I'd have to see it blown up to the same size, but on the face of it, I tend to think it is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment the old one was made by Franmarie Metzler; U.S. House Office of Photography (according to EXIF), so the assumption of {{PD-USGov}} is reasonable. The new one does not contain any information on author
or copyright status, so until that is cleared up I would not recommend uploading it here. --El Grafo (talk) 09:02, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Nevermind: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/copyright --El Grafo (talk) 09:45, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose not a bad portrait. As far as I can tell with my non-existing experience in portrait photography, it's reasonably well lit (apart from that shadow of the collar), sharp where it needs to be sharp, and her facial expression looks fine as well. I'd probably support this at VI or Wikipedia FP, but for Commons FP I feel a bit under-wowed. I mean, in the end it is just another formal portrait of someone in front of a US flag. We've got hundreds, maybe thousands of these, and I don't see what makes this one so special for it to be considered among the best of the best at Common. It's good, but not awesome. --El Grafo (talk) 08:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)- Oppose agree El Grafo Seven Pandas (talk) 14:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

- Reluctant Oppose - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of my heroes, and I'd love to support a great picture of her. This picture, as others have said, is good but not great. I think there will be a better one that can be nominated. She's very photogenic. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:34, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, well-done but bland, as indeed many U.S. congressional portraits are meant to be. I personally like taking pictures, and seeing pictures, of politicians in action—speaking, campaigning etc. They're more dynamic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Case (talk • contribs) 11:01, 15 November 2019 (UTC) (UTC)
