[edit] Katie Melua

Image:Katiemelua garethjordan 083.jpg
A portrait of Katie Melua, a British-Georgian singer, songwriter and musician. Born in the Georgian SSR, she moved to Northern Ireland at the age of eight and then relocated to England at the age of fourteen. She came to prominence in 2003 with her debut album Call off the Search, which went Platinum six times. In 2006, Melua was the United Kingdom's biggest-selling female artist and Europe's highest selling European female artist.

I feel this free image is a good candidate for a Feature Picture as it is of high technical and artistic quality, and clearly and neutrally illustrates it's subject.

  • Good enough to go with, although I'm a little surprised an artist as successful as this took a portrait with this lighting. Look in her eyes. You can see the equipment the photographer used. DurovaCharge! 18:42, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
    • I gave a stab at an edit. Hmmmm... does something seem off, maybe like the eyes are too dialated? I think the only reason WP probably has this picture is that it's an outtake; if it were perfect, NME would likely own it... Thegreenj (talk) 01:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The composition could be better: the tight cropping cuts off the hair on top. MER-C 03:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
