Comment I like the image even though it has many technical problems, but the size does not meet the FP criteria. Is there any way for you to upload a bigger version of the image? (e.g scanning from books)--Caspian blue 23:58, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A host of technical issues, combined with the size, lead me to oppose this nomination. Also, it has lower EV in Leon Trotsky than the others, however that was not a factor in my vote. Nezzadar ^[SPEAK] 00:26, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose per Caspian Blue. Would like to consider a Trotsky portrait with better technicals. Durova³⁶⁰ 07:55, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Looked promising as a thumbnail here, disappointed up close. One of those where you just want to see another frame shot from a step to the left, to reveal the face and back of the head against the background. Aggressive printing and/or digital processing has only exacerbated these problems. this one, apparently shot at the same time, gives an idea of what it might have been, tonally. Real shame, it's a nice pic. mikaul^talk 19:41, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
