  • I can't view the mahoosive version because my internet connection is delivered via two tin cans with a piece of string stretched between them, but of the smaller versions I find the original clearer; the colour-corrected version seems to have enhanced the grubby bits.

  • I think both leave a lot to be desired colour-wise. Even the adjusted one is very red-tinted. Plus, cleanup would help it. It's a bit big for me to take on just now, thoough. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:08, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
