•  Support - I liked this in QIC. I have no idea what others will think - the results of nominations of portrait photos at FPC are so unpredictable. The background may be a little too bright, but the subject is a beautiful woman, the idea of her kissing her basketball to metaphorically show love for the game is a good one, and she also shows off her powerful muscles in this pose. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment hehe - then you probably might like this photo of Jessica Diggins kissing her skis: File:20180128_FIS_NC_WC_Seefeld_Jesscia_Diggins_850_3411.jpg --Granada (talk) 08:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment - Tight crop on the right, but yeah, that's a fun photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:18, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment Unfortunately I only have one body and had the 70-200 f/2.8 mounted to capture the final sprint, so at 70mm she stood too near to us photographers to capture her complete with her left arm. The others with two bodies had 300mm for the sprint and a 24-70 for the shots in the finish zone. --Granada (talk) 08:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment - I'm disappointed that you're not quite a miracle worker. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment I do miracles only from Monday through Friday - this was shot on a lazy Sunday afternoon. :) --Granada (talk) 11:20, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment - Then you're off the hook. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:38, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support crop's a bit tight, but still... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose I mind this crop, especially background (white-white). Otherwise QI. --Mile (talk) 08:32, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Question @Stepro: Isn't there any way to get a few more rows of pixels on either side? It's great portrait per what Ikan said, but for me this crop is really tight. --cart-Talk 09:56, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• I was talking about the crop in the linked photo of Jessica Diggins. This crop isn't too tight for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• I know you were, Ikan. :) But I'm only talking about the crop in this nom. I was "per" your description of the woman in the photo. --cart-Talk 11:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• I am more bothered by above and bottom crop, than sides. --Mile (talk) 11:00, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
• @W.carter: Yes, I could add a little left and right. But:

a) either the headroom would be too big or the aspect ratio would change

b) the image cut is just as intended to emphasize her body length --Stepro (talk) 12:36, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• I think her body length will still be visible with a little more "air" to either sides, and photos don't have to have standard ratios. It's your call though. --cart-Talk 12:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not a particularly impressive photo - it's just a normal shot. No "wow".--Peulle (talk) 13:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Neutral Not bad, but crop too tight, as per King of Hearts. Yann (talk) 09:05, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per King of Hearts. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 12:24, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
•  weak support crop is unfortunate, but still support. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:19, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
