it's the framing of the original image - the space above in the original version is of pure black, which indicates this is part of the medium used for digitisation (kodachrome slide or else). regards,

  • Supporttttttt. Love it. J Milburn (talk) 00:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional Support. Love the photo, but the new crop is too tight. Kaldari (talk) 00:39, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: The original should have been promoted imo (see Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Donald Pleasence). I can see some of the fixes in the edit, nothing most people would notice without a microscope. The tightness of the crop was noted in the previous discussion and making it tighter has made it worse. Honestly though, I think people are getting too wrapped up in the technical details. Most of the actor photos we get are random snaps at a convention or award ceremony, while this is a professionally done portrait with very high EV since it conveys something of the type of roles he was known for. I would hope that we'd be trying to encourage more contributions like this rather than worrying about cropping and whether there was a barely visible bit of lint on the negative.--RDBury (talk) 09:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I'm not a big fan of the crop, but this is an excellent portrait anyway. The restoration has fixed up a lot more than "a barely visible bit of lint". The flaws were pretty glaring at full size. I'm glad the original was not promoted, as I don't believe we should promote images with significant defects than we can reasonably fix. I'd hope that maintaining high technical standards will encourage useful contributions like Peter's restoration of this image. --Avenue (talk) 10:14, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Too tight crop on top. --JovianEye (talk) 21:16, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, crop notwithstanding - this is a fine, fine portrait. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:11, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support; this is a very well-done portrait; as RDB says, the technical issues are not that big a deal. If Peter is right that this is the crop of the actual negative, than OK.
