Original – Self-portrait of Frances Benjamin Johnston
Reason
One of the most characterful self-portraits I've seen. Interesting background, that you can spend hours looking over (which is good, as this took weeks)

Adam, I'm curious: In relation to the George Washington Carver nom. (4/26), how would you evaluate her photo of Booker T. Washington? Sca (talk) 15:16, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's featured here and on Commons. Guessing at your underlying question, I'd ask you to remember that people vary in skin tone. Booker T. Washington is a much lighter-skinned African-American than Carver is, which is pretty readily demonstratable. Booker shouldn't be darkened to look like Carver any more than Carver should be lightened. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:52, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
