• Oppose The edit is much better but even at lower resolutions the picture is unsharp, particularly the head --Muhammad(talk) 17:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose, not loving this. The sharpness seems a bit off- I thought it may be because of the very high resolution, but I tried reducing it, and it just didn't look right around the head. J Milburn (talk) 17:56, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
• Withdraw for now. Maybe another edit will convince, later on. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 18:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
