Reason

While there's some motion blur on the arm, this is easily one of the best conference photos I've seen. It has a lot of life and personality to it, the microphone is minimally intrusive, and the face is very sharp.

• Support – Per nom. Although her article at 300 words is quite brief, pic is a nice 'action' capture of a fairly notable person who seems quite animated at this moment. (Doesn't hurt that subject is black & fem.) Sca ( talk) 15:13, 4 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Support the pose and motion blur are less than ideal, but good quality conference photos are rarer for Wikipedia then I would like, this person seems to meet the notability requirements, and there is EV in showing this person at a conference in their field. -- Pine ^✉ 05:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC) reply
• Oppose - motion blur makes this look like an amateur snapshot at an event. Sorry. Renata ( talk) 19:21, 9 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Disagree. It's a candid shot of a real event, not a posed 'official' photo. A small amount of motion blur on the subject's extremities is acceptable in these circumstances, IMO. Sca ( talk) 16:59, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply
