- Reason
- It was shot during a play (!), but looks like she posed for a photo. High EV, good quality, eye-catching; want to prepare the article into FA status, so it would be great if this were featured. (cropped version of File:US Open 2009 4th round 005.jpg)

- Comment: The crop is far, far too tight- it really needs head room. The composition of the original is actually rather interesting- reminds me of this FP. J Milburn (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- I will add another version tomorrow.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 19:54, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Something's gone wrong with the second crop, and the licensing needs sorting. J Milburn (talk) 10:54, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well I don't know then.
Where can I suggest a cropping here in wikipedia?-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 13:11, 25 January 2011 (UTC)I found it-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC) - I replaced the cropped image.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 12:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

- I am afraid I am going to have to weakly oppose both. The lighting just doesn't seem to be up to scratch, and the background is a little distracting. J Milburn (talk) 00:29, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- The light is from the headlights; the game took place in the night but I will look at this and the background (even if I don't see why the crowd should be sharpen).-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 09:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- I would be surprised if Mr Milburn's objections was due to them being blurred - portrait shots normally only get through this process if the background is plain and not distracting - sharpening the crowd would make them more of a distraction if anything... gazhiley.co.uk 12:54, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't understand what should be done to make the crowd not distracting. I also think the background is excellent; it features Kuzy more to the foreground and the blurring effect is nothing but great, for me anyway.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 13:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- That's kinda the point - there isn't a lot that can be done about the background, which is why the large majority of profile pictures that pass here are more posed or at least have some action taking place that is useful for another article... A picture of a person appearing to be standing not doing a lot with a background this busy just isn't going to be accepted by a lot of editors... gazhiley.co.uk 15:28, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
