  • Support - I'd thought the wavy thing in the top-left corner was wrinkle damage, but it appears to be part of the original. A fern or something, maybe? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • My impression is wrinkling in the backcloth at the time it was taken. Probably for framing reasons. Anyway, if anyone sees anything that can be improved, please let me know; There was a lot of damage around the edges of this, and some big fingerprints on the bottom.

  • Support – I think it's a nice photo. It captures some of her personality. Regarding the "wrinkles" in the upper left, I think it is actual fabric behind her, perhaps on a backdrop specifically set up for the photo. CorinneSD (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
