Original - Jazz singer Cab Calloway
Reason
A great photo of jazz icon Cab Calloway. A better image in terms of showing what he looks like compared to the Billie Holiday photo below. Extra EV from seeing him singing. I love that the sheet music includes some of his trademark slang words like "hep".

Why? It's just a distracting background for a B&W picture. Nergaal (talk) 02:21, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If the lines were damages to the image, sure, but in this case they were physically there on the wall behind him. It's fairly insignificant, so I wouldn't oppose if it were changed, but for me digital manipulation should only be used to restore what was originally there.
