Original - Margaret Gorman posing with her pet Greyhound, "Long Goodie", in April 1925

Reason: After looking through hundreds of images in Commons categories, this one caught my eye for the interesting pose of Gorman (the first Miss America) and her pet Greyhound. This is my first effort at attempting to restore an image beyond the basic dust and scratches, which made for a fun and challenging endeavor. The 1920s image is high-quality and provides a great representation of several topics.

Support per nom. Surprisingly high EV for Greyhound, given the size reference. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm not really convinced about the EV here. It's not the most useful portrait of her, and I don't really see what it is adding to the other two articles. If we want a size reference for a greyhound, I'm sure a modern picture could do a much better job. J Milburn (talk) 18:12, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for size reference, she was pretty short (5' 1") so I don't know if that impacts the view of the size of the dog in relation to an average size person. Although the image doesn't fill one specific EV as say something like the File:Poliocephalus poliocephalus RB.jpg or File:Vexi Salmi.jpg (chosen at random), I would say that its focus on several elements provides context, allowing for EV in more than one area. Surprisingly, the other images of her that I've found do not really have great poses or have the detail as this one. The use in the Greyhound article helps to illustrate the history of the popularity of the breed as a pet, and the Pet article details the owner-pet relationship (outside the more common images on that article of the pets by themselves). --Happy editing!
