SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Info created by Taya Nevskaya - uploaded by Александр Сигачёв - nominated by A.Savin 10:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Professional studio shot of a notable Russian TV host. - A.Savin 10:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  weak oppose: Commons definitely profits from professional studio photographs of celebrities. But for a "professional shot" there are two notably problems with hightlights on the skin (see notes). It is normal in portraiture that one side of the face is brighter than the other one, but espcially the hightlight on the forehead is too disturbing for me, probably a result of the slightly too low position of the main light. After dodging (if possible), pro from me. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Photography aside, I fail to see the value of featuring a portrait of a "notable" local celebrity. I think that the celebrity status should be reserved to those who make advances in science, the arts, politics, etc, that have a universal reach and who generate a universal agreement. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:17, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Here is not Wikipedia and here we have no discussions on notability. Besides, this image is curently being used in a Wikipedia article. Are all of your FPC's being used somewhere? - A.Savin 19:27, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • What is the featurable characteristic of this photograph then? Why then characterize this shot as as a professional shot of a notable Russian TV host, if notability is not an issue. The proposal then should be a professional shot of a Russian TV host. As a portrait of a person, not considering her notabiility, it is of marginal quality from the photographc point of view, that is, there is no extraordinary craftsmanship, and the portrait tells me absolutely nothing of who this person is, what she does, nor the field where she is "notable.". This photograph is undistinguishable from zillions of pictures of ordinary people. A portrait of a person? Try this #[[1]] --Tomascastelazo (talk) 07:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support An attractive subject photographed well. The hightlights identified by Tuxyso don't bother me and fashion photography often has the face evenly light. The notability of the subject is a matter for their Wikipedia article, not Commons FP. Colin (talk) 22:28, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose First of all, nothing interesting and intriguing: neither subject, nor composition, just girl and white background. I don't like unnatural studio background, especially white background, it's real shame. Beside, per Tomascastelazo, it does not reveal much to me about the person, who is she, what is inside, and thus it does not give a huge reading on my wow-o-meter. --Алый Король (talk) 09:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose The subject's expression is great, but there just isn't enough "wow" factor here, in my opinion. Michael Barera (talk) 21:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
