Reason: Good composition and overall a strong portrait. Personally I'd prefer some left/right crop, so will upload if needed.

Support with preference for Alt. Excellent potrait. Shame they placed the paper backdrop so close behind her, it's a little distracting to be honest! But other than that, the lighting and composition are good. I'd probably have cropped it a bit tighter around the left and right sides for a square frame though.

Weak support - I like this portrait, but I agree that a crop would be nice. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:40, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Crop has been added. Brandmeister^talk 08:10, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crisco 1492: Does this weak support also applies to the alt too? Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 05:18, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes. I'd have gone 1 * 1.3 — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:39, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weird left eye (her left); if the photographic jargon of "weird" is too technical for you, I mean the iris and pupil are noticeably stretched vertically and it appears to have a line down the sclera; if anybody says that's my eyes making it look weird I will cry (but only one extra long tear from my weird elongated left eye).

- Her left eye's pupil and iris looks bigger than her right's in other pictures of her too. 1, 2. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:37, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - The first one is totally the same picture as the second one with the background cut out, but I don't see anything so weird in that one (if anything I'd say her right eye was bigger there). Belle (talk) 00:54, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree, I don't think her eye looks weird in those pic, but it definitely does in the original. Hmmm. Does this change my vote? I like the image but it definitely seems digitally manipulated. But why would someone warp her eye like that?? Could be an accident that nobody noticed... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:26, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - After thinking about it, I think I know. She was probably squinting slightly in her other eye and the Photoshopper decided to stretch it open slightly. You can see that it's slightly softer than the surrounding area which suggests it's been smeared. It's a pretty minor error in the grand scheme of things so I don't think it changes my vote, but it's disappointing that they did such a bad job of it.

Weak oppose – EV? Pleasant (promotional-looking) pic, but her brief article reads like a resumé. Sca (talk) 13:43, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

^{Note: Re her left eye/pupil, such may result from trauma to optic nerves – as I can attest due to a nasty bike crash three years ago. Sca (talk) 13:43, 10 July 2015 (UTC)}[reply]

Sca, you've probably forgot the real promotional pics :) Brandmeister^talk 14:15, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As per my comments above, I think the eye has been digitally manipulated. I decided to 'Be Bold' and try to reverse what's been done so I'll overwrite both the original and alt with my edit. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:37, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, I've uploaded over the top of both images. It looks reasonably normal to me. Probably not quite as good as if it wasn't messed around with in the first place but meh. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:46, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support The left side could be eventually cropped, but not the right. --Yann (talk) 14:14, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: Does this mean that you only support the original? Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 05:18, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry if I was not clear. Yann (talk) 10:36, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support And I prefer the cropped version. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 00:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support prefer alt version. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:00, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted File:Jade Raymond Feb 2012.jpg --Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 10:44, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only the original has enough support for promotion (despite that some people supporting both expressed a preference for the alt). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 10:44, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
