Comment: This image looks a little.. hot? There is also a small amount of motion blur. Anyway, I desaturated it a little, let's see how it works.PiccoloNamek 17:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The desatured version is much, much better. I'm going to support this one when voting begins. —DO'Иeil 05:16, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
( + ) Support Desaturated version (very good adjustment Piccolo) --Fir0002 09:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Why, thank you. I didn't actually desaturate the image, but rather, copied the bottom layer, desaturated that using a custom channel mixer layer (designed to mimic a green color filter), and then soft-lighted it over the bottom layer. But I digress. ;)Support that version.PiccoloNamek 10:48, 31 October 2005 (UTC) ;)[reply]
- Just noticed the new version — looks great! Thanks, PiccoloNamek! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 21:34, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. It's horribly grainy and the bar running across the picture is out of focus towards the bottom left. Enochlau 03:33, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - as Enochlau says: its too grainy. I know this seems fussy but we are talking Featured pic not "good" pic - Adrian Pingstone 11:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with all previous opposers. It has potential and could have been a very interesting photo but I think it suffers at the moment due to lack of clarity and to be honest, I can't really see how duplex scaling works from it. I think it would need a better explanation/caption. Diliff 01:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support, either image, especially lower. It's eye catching; I agree it's still not clear how duplex scaling works from this, but it's much better than trying to imagine it without any picture at all, indeed impossible if you're not familiar with pianos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrbouldin (talk • contribs) 14:39, 2 November 2005
Support - though I like the saturated version more. Halibu tt 16:16, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the unsaturated version a lot. --Ironchef8000 23:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
User:Vanderdecken/Support first version - I like the warm effect of the lighting. Quite grainy, but at a lower res it would be great. Vanderdecken ^℘ζξ 12:51, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- We have to keep in mind that we are voting for the actual full-sized image, not the thumbnail previews. Enochlau 01:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with Enochlau. Mark ¹ 02:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
