You left the comment in exactly the right way and signed your post, which many newcomers take some time to figure out. You're right that uploading images can be daunting because of the copyright restrictions and criteria necessary for fair use/freelicensing. Unfortunately, though I have some experience with image uploads, it is not an area I concentrate on so I am no expert. That being said, my understanding is that the best way to obtain a proper image for an actress is to look for promotional material such as a publicity photo, which can then be uploaded using the tag {{Promotional}}. Note that there are many articles, even on quite famous people, for which no good image has been found. I looked up Bryony Afferson on Google but didn't find a likely promotional photo candidate. There are other editors who concentrate on images and may have far more trenchant advice. For that reason you might have some luck asking at the help desk. Feel free to call on me again. Hopefully I can speak with more authority next time.--Fuhghettaboutit 11:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
