Cover your ears. AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaggh!!!!!!!!!! I take you're not a fan? This is about the photo, not the person. But it's a photo OF the person, which makes it hard to separate the two things. Is there some reason she's eating her coat? Oh well. It's better than seeing her weep and wail on TV about the puppy thing, which was the first time I'd bothered to watch DeGeneres in years and reminded me of why I couldn't stand her. She's not only a nut case but a nasty self-serving one at that. |

Link fixed: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...len1-popup.jpg Sorry 'bout that. On the monitor, it doesn't look good. However, if you take a few steps back... 30, 40, ...er maybe a 100. Depends on your monitor. I don't think the original was meant for screen display. So people reading that article in the online edition of the NYT are supposed to print it first? ...or step back 30 paces. -- Regards, Savageduck Ah, so she's some famous bird. Makes sense now. Sorry, I didn't know who she was. And still don't TBH. |

I agree. It is an extremely unflattering portrait of an interesting woman who deserves much better. Very much better. She/he can always try changing the contact lens. |

She manages her "look" all by herself. I suspect this was a proof sheet reject, and a NY Times editor, having Alan in mind, thought it was "quirky" and dumped the ...er "good" shots for the one we are discussing. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It's horrible. Another frightening thought is, this might have been the best from the shoot, and the photog had no choice other than submitting the "eye" shot to the editorial staff. There might be some truly bad Ellen images out there. ....and this was in the NY Times of all places. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Posed for fun and effect (her entertainment market). I would bet the photog and DeGeneres had a lot of fun doing this. Finally the technical quality is superb - would like to see this image at least 3x larger in dimensions as well as the whole shoot set. The NYT publishes photos that make that one look very ordinary. -- gmail originated posts are filtered due to spam. |

Alan, All I can say is, this is a photograph, as technically good as it might be, which does not work for me. I am sure they would be more than happy to sell you a life size, autographed copy. -- Regards, Savageduck |
