Original – Portrait of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, taken by Alberto Korda on 5 March 1960, at the La Coubre explosion memorial service.

Alt 1: Hand-restored by Adam Cuerden from apparent original of the above.

Reason: High resolution, really popular image, high quality. Probably one of the most iconic portraits of all time, it even has its own article. There was a previous nomination for this image which failed to be promoted to featured picture status, however that was a lower quality and highly compressed older version of the photo which was uploaded in 2006. It has since now been updated and I believe it deserves the status.
Articles in which this image appears: Che Guevara, Guerrillero Heroico, Communist symbolism, Beret, Mike Tyson's tattoos, List of photographs considered the most important, Anti-Americanism etc.
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political
Creator: Alberto Korda

Compared to File:Heroico1.jpg, it looks like a bunch of grain has been removed using a blur tool. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.6% of all FPs.} 21:09, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I did not create this image, I only performed some reverts. The lack of grain is claimed to be the result of AI cleanup, but I do not know if this is true or not. — Huntster (t @ c) 22:34, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think AI cleanup is a good idea for old photos. AI does not understand film grain. Oppose Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.6% of all FPs.} 08:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've found what I think is the true source - that image definitely isn't the V&A image - given the appearance of lines and spots based on damage to it, especially the one on the cap. .

I'll clean that up later. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.6% of all FPs.} 09:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
