King Sunny Ade

After an epic quest to find free images for music of Nigeria, I finally received three photos that Afropop.org was willing to license appropriately. I thought this was a great photo, very striking, and illustrates well both music of Nigeria and King Sunny Ade. If the images needs to be tweaked to make it better, I can supply the jpg I was originally e-mailed, but converting from jpg to png is about the limit of the image manipulation I know how to do, so I'd appreciate if someone else could make any necessary changes. I also considered nominating Image:FemiKuti.png, but decided this one was better (just in case someone disagrees).

Comment An out cry from those suffering with dial up! Please have mercy! Uncompressed PNG's are all very well but you are not gaining any quality by converting from JPEG to PNG. And the resulting file takes AGES to load!!! --Fir0002 08:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I was obligated to convert from jpg to png? Should I replace it with the jpg file? Tuf-Kat 17:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Use PNG only for diagrams. Enochlau 11:07, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Firstly, as Fir0002 noted, PNG doesn't really make the quality any better. Overall, it's ok, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it. Also, it's not that sharp, especially near the guitar. Enochlau 11:07, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Ditto Enochlau. CapeCodEph 20:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
