Support Great image with high EV, high quality. – Yann (talk) 11:12, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are there other versions/frames? This one has a focussing error and/or camera shake, clearly seen in full size. (The scan is OK, since the fiduciary crosses are tack sharp.) --Janke | Talk 14:53, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Images. Closest equivalent would be this I reckon, but I think it is worse off. Thoughts? Kees08 (Talk) 07:24, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at this: [1], I'd say it's a better choice, Schmitt is in focus, and there's no camera shake. If I were you, I'd close this nomination, and nominate that one instead... --Janke | Talk 09:04, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, I am not a huge fan of the sun reflecting off the helmet in that one. I do see the camera shake when I zoom in. Just to make sure, you think the camera shake is worse than the helmet glare? Kees08 (Talk) 03:39, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think the shake is worse than the glare. You don't see the face in either picture, anyway. Also, the tilted composition of this one is pretty awkward. --Janke | Talk 06:48, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
