One could argue some things about composition, but this is probably the best known image of her, to the point of being used
as the book cover of her recent biography. I think that says something. There's also... maybe five to six images of her that exist, most much worse. That's the trouble with scientists whose achievements are only recognised later. Also, going back to that book cover: I did a better restoration than they did. (No offense intended, but you can see scratches and other damage clearly if you zoom in on the cover; damage I fixed.).
Of course. But is her right hand really necessary, and the empty space on her left? And is there some unnecessary space above her head? Cropped, it would still meet minimum size... --
