Help settle a family debate?

Since you guys don't know me at all, I figure you're perfect for getting an unbiased opinion. So, the debate: two people in my family think the people below only have a vague resemblance that's not very noticeable, and two others think they look VERY much alike. I won't tell you which side I'm on to keep it totally unbiased. Oh, and we all agree that the pictures are good representations of what both people look like normally and neither is one of those pictures you get sometimes that for some reason doesn't really look the person (I'm not the only one that happens to, am I? ). So, what do you think?

Yes, the noses and chins are very similar.

I feel that the definitely look alike.

A big resemblance for sure!

Not really, no. I mean, they kinda look alike but I could come up with several of my own relatives and friends who kinda look like both pictures too.

I actually thought the facial structure looked quite different. The older photo has a more pointed nose, and the younger person has a different chin.

There's a resemblance - but the fact that they are side on, one of them isn't particularly clear, and the hair is kind of pulled back the same may have something to do with that.

Nope, no resemblance. The top woman has a rounded chin, the bottom woman has a pointed chin. The top woman has a rounded ear, the bottom woman has a slight point to her ear. The top woman has a very low brow, the eye brow is practically sitting on the nose, the bottom woman's brow is high and arched.

The noses are similar but lots of people have prominent noses.

I think they look very much alike!

They're both lovely, and I think they look very much alike.

I also think they look very much alike! Mind you not as much as twins like some other members are describing it. But I would say possibly relatives for sure

My thoughts exactly. The bottom picture is not as side on as the top one, plus she is smiling.

A better gauge of resemblance would come from a front on picture of both people.

My first thought is that they're probably related, but other than that, the only similar feature (to me, anyway) is the nose.

They kinda look alike.

They might kind of favor each other, but it's really impossible to tell from just those two photos. Could go either way, I'd need more photos.

I think they look very much alike, except that the woman in the upper photo appears to have been somewhat older when the shot was taken than the one in the lower photo is. They're both very pretty!

(On the other hand, I've noticed that people in old photos often look much older than they were... something about the nature of photography then, maybe.)

Yes, they do look alike. The nose and eyes. and of course the hair.

Some what the nose and eyes/ But the chins are very different.

Well, eight people say yes, two say no, three say kind of/a bit, and three say probably not but they can't really tell, so it's still all over the place! Very controversial issue, evidently. Thanks guys!

There's a great deal of resemblance! In fact, to my eye, any differences could be totally attributable to the slightly different angle of the photos -- in the lower photo the camera looks upward, rather than straight on -- and a small disparity in age. Both of those factors could cause the first photo to exhibit a somewhat pointier nose or chin, but the basic bone structure looks very similar otherwise. Lovely ladies.

I think there is a definite resemblance
