Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Camille Saint-Saëns

 
Original - Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns in 1915.
Reason
A pretty good restoration. Admittedly, this is my first photo restoration, and I'm kind of hoping someone will step in and fix the remaining (hopefully quite minor) flaws, but I think it's pretty good.

There's two others from that photoshoot available 1 2 - would I have been better off with those? (Also, I'll get the original sorted, but I did the work at Uni so I have to sort a couple things out to do so.) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 16:35, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The background is distracting in all three. It's a shame because the subject deserves a featured picture. But you know the archival searching rule (only about 1 in 1000 has the stuff for FP, even with the best restoration). DurovaCharge! 20:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
