•  Support - Moving portrait. We can only imagine the horrors she's seen, and she survived it all. And I think that's reflected on her face. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment - However, there is an erroneous category that I will delete after posting this: Category:Women of the United States. She is clearly Haitian, and the picture was taken in Haiti. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

• OK, fixed. --Yann (talk) 08:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment The background is too large. This framing is not working for me. A lot should be cut IMO. There's also a white halo on the right side of her face, visible at thumb size -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:05, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• Yeah, I see the white halo now, and unfortunately, I can't unsee it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:44, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• @Basile Morin and Ikan Kekek: That's a very minor issue IMO, I don't even know how to fix it, or even if it needs to be fixed, but I welcome anyone who wants to try. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:00, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• The reason for this halo is certainly because the author made a local correction using the selective brush on Lightroom. Probably the face was too dark, or not contrasted enough. Now fixing this issue without the RAW file is not as easy as it seems. It can be done quickly and superficially on Photoshop, but for a clean correction totally invisible at full size, it takes a while IMO. Not sure I'll have the time to handle this in the next days. But if someone else do that I would suggest to upload the new file under a square format not much bigger than the size of the head -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:50, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• I like to have head room in a portrait like this. Thanks for offering your help. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:54, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• Guys, please respect that this is the artistic creation of Bill Hamway. While legally the CC0 declaration lets you do what you want with it, morally it is no longer Hamway's image if you start mucking about with crops and selective brushes. FWIW, I think the space is room to think. If you really like the image but think it could be improved then when don't you try contacting the guy and chat to him about it. Sometimes a halo forms due to the tonemapping adjustments in Lightroom, so that's another possibility as well as local adjustment. I'd much rather we feature (or not feature) Hamway's work, than something altered without his permission. -- Colin (talk) 17:59, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
