Very Oppose Bad framing, A few unnecessary people at blow-right of photo, unseemly background and resolution is disapproving. Alborzagros (talk) 13:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose good EV, but seems noisy in a way that suggests a low-quality digitization of the original photo. Pine^✉ 05:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed: this looks to me like it was scanned from a print, not from the negative. Chick Bowen 15:58, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support: I agree with some of the above, but I would factor in a lot more significantly the fact that this is historical photograph (given the people there, I think it might be the only meeting with this ensemble); historical images scanned from prints are far more acceptable than modern versions of the same. The setting is reasonable – OK, so there are people to the right - but I don't think they distract and it's still nice to have a photograph that sets the leaders in the context with the flags.
