Sitting Bull

Battle of Little Big Horn. He also participated in Buffalo Bill's

Wild West show (Photograph by D. F. Barry, 1885).

Reason: Good scan of famous portrait of famous 19th century Sioux chief. (What a shame that we don't have a better scan of this even more famous photo of his Apache cotemporary).

I also support the alternative image. Spikebrennan 19:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose great picture, but the caption needs some work. I would suggest using WP:CAPS as a guide. :) Z1720 06:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional support Please improve the caption. However, the image itself is acceptable. I would also support some dust removal.--Here T oHelp 14:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I looked at the nominated photo at 100% and saw artifacts from digital sharpening, and also saw extreme contrast. I decided to look at the original archived file and compare, and I believe the edits performed on the nominated image degrades the image quality. So I have uploaded my own edit. I have removed a few dust spots and made very, very minor adjustments to levels and sharpening. Also, I have left the original frame in because it is part of the history of the physical image (note the nom is cropped). -Andrew c ^[talk] 17:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support 2I really like Andrew c's change. I think that adding the frame adds something to the enc value and makes the whole image cooler. Zakolantern 17:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in this case, the frame does actually improve the image. Maybe not the white outer edge though, which is not part of the subject... vlad§inger ^tlk 03:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support 2, encyclopedic and acceptable quality. Also per Z1720 a better caption is required.--snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 00:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
See edited caption (which can be used on whichever version, if any, passes FP status). Spikebrennan 14:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support 2 Per above. ^8thstar 23:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
