Nominated edit – Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, left, and Archbishop Ruthard of Mainz, right, in a 12th century painting.

Reason: We have precious little from this period. Lead image in articles on both of the subjects, and an art style that makes us look twice.
Articles in which this image appears: Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, Ruthard of Mainz
FP category for this image: Royalty (not technically accurate- other ideas?)
Creator: Unknown

Comment Equalisation is a very strange choice for trying to do something about faded colours. Sort of like throwing a grenade into your living room because you can't find the keys to your ~~tank~~ car. How is it justified in this case over something more conservative?

- I agree. The colors of the original look superior to me. I'm also concerned of the rather harsh compression. O.J. (talk) 22:22, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this one. A few reasons: Prefer the original colours; something weird happened to cause a 2.5 mb file to balloon into 8 mb, and compression. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:11, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco 1492:do you know a histogram? Please take a look to the image histogram, from the original image, version 2th Dez. 2011! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 00:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
