- Support Beautiful professional portrait used for a cover magazine. Certainly one of our best in this style and category. -- Yann (talk) 20:00, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
{{Neutral}}Oppose Pictures were women are deprived of any personality, I find absolutely unacceptable. But there are certainly a lot of men who will find this just beautiful and also like to have such a presentable girlfriend. In certain circles this may enhance mens social position. Just my 2 cents. --Hubertl 20:20, 28 December 2015 (UTC) Changed to contra, it´s simply too much photoshopped. --Hubertl 11:04, 30 December 2015 (UTC)- Oppose Harsh lighting, crop too tight. Daniel Case (talk) 03:11, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support Per Yann. -- Colin (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support Christian Ferrer (talk) 02:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support Very attractive model, crop and lighting are perfect for me, everything fits. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 05:55, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not convinced by the rationales of the Keep in the deletion request...--Jebulon (talk) 10:52, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Jebulon, what deletion request? I can't find one. -- Colin (talk) 13:49, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Please see here, I am dubious.--Jebulon (talk) 14:29, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I'll assume good faith for now. A google search shows the magazine cover (with writing) so perhaps it is the photographer's own copy. However, the username suggests it might be the subject's, which is unlikely to be ok. Best result would be OTRS I suppose. -- Colin (talk) 21:09, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

- Comment - The face looks severely airbrushed to me, though I'm not an expert on airbrushing, and part of what I find to be an unrealistic look could just be makeup. What do the rest of you think? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:27, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'm no expert either, but from what I've read and seen online, a photo taken to grace the cover of a fashion magazine is likely to have used a hair and makeup artist, studio lighting (you can see a beauty dish, or similar light, reflected in her eyes), carefully chosen clothes and accessories, a fashion photographer and retouching with Photoshop. So it's likely to be a combination and the result isn't really intended to be realistic but conform to the expectations of beauty of the target audience of the magazine. So I think it has to be judged for what it is, rather than as an accurate photo of the subject. The subject is a model / Miss Nepal so the beauty treatment is appropriate (vs a photo of a politician, say). -- Colin (talk) 12:56, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- I appreciate the reply. I guess that even as a fashion photo, it is not at all to my taste because I don't think people's faces really look like that. I won't oppose featuring it on that basis but don't feel like supporting it, either. I hope that makes sense. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:13, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
