- Oppose - For a painting which is more than 2 x 2 meters, this reproduction is really too small -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose. Gotta go with Alvesgaspar on this one. If you can get a larger version, I will definitely support. Clegs (talk) 02:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support per freaky skull. :) As suggested above, would love to see a larger version. faithless (speak) 09:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Weak support Could we get a larger file, please? DurovaCharge! 17:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- this is a larger scan, but I think it's more artifacted. Do you agree? Spikebrennan (talk) 18:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Doesn't appear to be a photographic issue of a file issue. I've never seen the original; is your nominated version a restoration? DurovaCharge! 11:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have no idea; check the image page for clues. I am neither a photographer nor a photo restorer; I just troll Wikipedia for images that have been uploaded by others and nominate them if they strike me as worthy of nomination. Spikebrennan (talk) 21:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Dang, wish I had time this week. The Navajo family took several days and someone asked me to work on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising for a Commons FP nom. Drop this into the workshop if it doesn't pass? Usually I work on photography, but I've done a few other media lately... DurovaCharge! 06:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
