Original - The Mona Lisa (or La Joconde, La Gioconda)
Reason
I'm a little surprised this isn't featured already. My only complaint is that the lighting tends to exaggerate the cracks, but its still pretty good.

  • Comment I'm on the fence, leaning support. Obviously an important painting and having a high-quality digitization of it is great in the EV department. But the way the light reflects off the cracks is really distracting at full resolution (a flaw which you point out). Any chance there's a better digitization floating around Commons? -RunningOnBrains(talk) 13:05, 18 July 2011 (UTC) sub-comment I had no idea the painting was in such bad shape. I suppose 500 years takes its toll. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 13:05, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think it'd be very difficult to light without getting reflections. Probably the only way to get rid of them is to spend hours cloning them out. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support mostly because of the high file size (along with everything else).TCO (reviews needed) 17:40, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Wonderful image, something from which Wikipedia would really benefit having a featured picture of. That Ole Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 15:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Size shouldn't matter. If it is of poor quality it shouldn't be a FP. The reflections ruin the work. Saffron Blaze (talk) 18:35, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
