Oppose. Good quality photos from that time are hard to come by. This photo's quality isn't terrible, but I don't think it's good enough to become a featured picture. The Utahraptor ^Talk 00:10, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not that bad, though it could use some light cleaning. Unfortunately, it's rather small. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Cuerden (talk • contribs) [reply]
  - - Are you suggesting sending this to the WP:GL for cleanup?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I didn't say it was bad. It is a good quality photo, just not good enough in my opinion. The Utahraptor ^Talk 02:35, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - This is a picture that could benefit from some cleanup. J Milburn (talk) 09:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - I have put in a request at the WP:GL.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:08, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Since no one has responded, I am going to assume that this request for general cleanup is not specific enough. Are there any specifics that I could add to the request?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I added restored (cleaned up & contrast enhanced) file as requested at the WP:GL. PawełMM (talk) 07:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        The restored file actually looks a bit washed-out to me. Black and white photography tends to have a bit more tonal range than that... Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Support I have tonal better version loaded. PawełMM (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support edit Not thrilled with the image's size, but it's educational and well-restored. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:39, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have to say that the restored version looks a little washed-out. J Milburn (talk) 08:36, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Per J Milburn, the blacks could definately be pumped up a little bit. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 18:23, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support edit. Good EV (in the articles for Teller and Oppenheimer) outweighs my concerns about its marginal size and quality, given that it's a historical photo. --Avenue (talk) 10:48, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
