Oppose — Nothing whatever against Michelle Obama — It's just my inveterate opposition to official photos of political figures as FPs (and she is by extension a political figure). I know others disagree with me on this issue.

Comment -High EV for one thing - she is the first black
First lady in the White house... kinda exciting, still. Even if her strictly personal merits might not be that outstanding.

I think this is a much more relaxed and candid portrait than we usually see (compare it, for example, with her first official portrait). I think it has EV as a result; there's certain subjects which we might not have quality images of otherwise. One could also argue that there is often a fine line between official images and non-official ones. At what point does a sitting with the express purpose of taking an photograph become official or staged? I think we have to judge the outcome, more than the circumstance.

Comment. My only tiny criticism is that the crop seems fractionally too close to her right elbow. If there is more in an original somewhere then it would be good to redo that.
