Original - Albert Einstein during a lecture in Vienna in 1921

Edit 1 - Removed scratches

Alternative 1 - Desaturated and scratches removed

Reason: This is a picture that depicts Albert Einstein as a nice, intelligant man and I think it should be nominated as a picture of the day.

Support as nominator --Luke Farrelly-Spain (talk) 19:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have added two more versions. I can't really make my mind about which one I should vote for, but I think I like the one without any desaturation applied (aka. edit 1). I'd support the alternative too though. Diego_pmc ^Talk 20:46, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support alternative 1 actually scratch that, I'll support the alternative. Diego_pmc ^Talk 20:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Low quality scan. (Halftoning? I don't even know what I'm seeing.) Also, why is this cropped version being nominated instead of the full version? Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Actually, those lines are not from the scan. A lot of mid 1900s photos were printed on non-smooth photo paper. Diego_pmc ^Talk 22:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like someone should scheck whether the last three voters don't share an IP address or something. Diego_pmc ^Talk 21:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
