Support either as nominator, slightly prefer original – Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support ↓ – Good capture of an interesting artist, with good detail for 1947. (Taken on 120 film?) Wish that mirror wasn't in the background, but oh well.... Sca (talk) 21:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Adam, how 'bout a top crop that would at least get rid of the guy in the background and the distracting light fixture? Sca (talk) 21:47, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca: I didn't want to crop too much, so try this. Tried to just crop out the minimum to avoid distraction at the top, but then a little on the right needed to go. Then it felt too tight, so it went back in. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:18, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Alt. 1 – Exactly what I had in mind (and tried out on my PC). Thanks, Adam. Sca (talk) 00:21, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt. 1 - Less distracting. Good image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:01, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support either – slightly prefer original, it shows more of the room. Bammesk (talk) 02:23, 7 July 2016 (UTC) on the Alt. 1 there is a speck at (x,y)=(1010,200) pixels relative to top left corner, and a very fine line from (104,0) to (70,1180)[reply]
- Not anymore. I went over them again at 200% and removed any speck I could find. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:13, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt1 this is a great portrait - it's well executed and very lively, and has lots of EV. Nick-D (talk) 08:53, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
