OriginalKorean pop girl group Girls' Generation: (left to right) Kim Tae-yeon, Kim Hyo-yeon, Seo Joo-hyun, Choi Soo-young, Im Yoona, Jessica Jung, Tiffany Hwang, Sunny Lee, and Kwon Yuri
Reason
High EV (currently lede picture in band's article) and gives fairly equal prominence to each member. Not blatantly advertorial, although admittedly from an advertising campaign. Personally, I like the lighting and the posing is decent.

I have a strange feeling that my 11-year-old students could do a better job at that than either of us. On it anyway. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
ID done, cap updated —Eustress talk 23:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've put requests in at two different places, and am liable to bring this to a lesson on Thursday (I wasn't kidding about my students knowing better than me about this). I've tentatively id'd two. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Surely there should be some pundits out there... Brandmeister t 21:28, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tentatively identified using these three pages. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is it worth just asking two or three of the article regulars on their talkpages? A few have edited multiple times in the last couple of weeks, so are active and perhaps know the band well. A consensus of opinions would also be good. --jjron (talk) 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sent two messages. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:35, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Crisco jumped the gun. I was assuaging the ID and English-language issues for the file name on Commons -- both of which are now resolved. I've updated the image file name and the image caption. —Eustress talk 23:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What colour issues do you see? On this web-cafe monitor and mine at home, the colours look okay. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I feel it's too red.   ■ MMXX  talk  22:51, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone else feel its too red? Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:25, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think this effect was made intentionally by the photographer, as the colours become gradually stronger the more your eyes move to the left.--♫GoP♫TCN 18:39, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was quite intentional too, and I don't find it too strong or a problem. Product photography has a bit more liberty when it comes to artistic expression. As has been argued before, it's this artistic expression of the 'product' that is actually part of the EV in my opinion. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 15:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. Don't know how it ended up like that; perhaps Eutress' internet is like my satellite modem - compresses things of its own accord. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, not sure what happened on my end. —Eustress talk 17:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
